Help me please!!!!!!!!!!
1 answer:
Answer:
- slope: -5/3
- y-intercept: 2
- x-intercept: 6/5 = 1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Finding the slope is perhaps easiest done by solving for y.
5x -6 = -3y . . . . subtract 3
y = -5/3x +2 . . . divide by -3
This is slope-intercept form, so we can see both the slope (the coefficient of x, -5/3) and the y-intercept (the constant, +2).

To find the x-intercept, we set y=0 and solve for x. This might be most easily done using the original equation:
5x -3 = 0 +3 . . . . set y = 0
5x = 6 . . . . . . . . . add 3 to get the x-term by itself
x = 6/5 = 1.2 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x. This is the x-intercept.

Slope = -5/3
y-intercept = 2

Answer:
y = x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The answer to this problem is a simple plug-in of the given values into the slope-intercept formula.</u>
Slope intercept formula: y = mx + b
(m = slope)
(b = y intercept)
If the equation has a slope of m = , then the slope-intercept form would be:
y = x
If the y-intercept of an equation is (0 , -2), then the slope intercept form would be:
y = mx - 2
<u>Putting both of these values into an equation would give option A:</u>
y = x - 2
