How do you rewrite equations in slope intercept form ?

Slope intercept form is y = mx+b, so you can see that you set the equation equal to y. So if the equation is 2y+3x=6, then you solve for y to put it in slope intercept form.
2y + 3x = 6
2y = -3x + 6
y = (-3/2)x + 3

Keep in mind that the term with the x has to be before the constant, so it can't be y = 3 -(3/2)x

And by the way m is the slope and b is y-intercept, so in <span>y = (-3/2)x + 3, -3/2 is slope and (0,3) is y-intercept</span>

dawn has 5/6 yard of lace. She uses 4/5 of it for a dress and the rest for a jewel box. How much lace does she use for the jewel

GrogVix [38]

$amount\ used\ for\ jewel\ box=all\ lace-\ lace\ used\ for\ dress\\\\\
amount\ used\ for\ jewel\ box=\frac{5}{6}-\frac{4}{5}=\frac{25}{30}-\frac{24}{30}=\frac{1}{30}\\\\ \frac{1}{30}\ of\ lace\ is\ for\ jewel\ box.
