It may be useful to multiply the whole expression by 2, in order to get rid of denominators:
Distribute the negative sign in the left hand side:
Move all terms involving x to the left, and all constants to the right:
Sum like terms:
DIvide both sides -5:
Answer:
slope = - 6, y- intercept = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given
0 = 2x - +
y ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fractions )
0 = 6x - 5 + y ( subtract 6x - 5 from both sides )
- 6x + 5 = y , that is
y = - 6x + 5 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 6 and y- intercept c = 5
