Question

Need help with the steps for 15 and 17

Answer 1

15. 2x+4y=5
Since you want to put it into y-intercept format (y=mx+b) first you want to minus 2x on both sides making it 4y= -2x+5, following you will divide by 4 on both sides making it y= -1/2x+ 5/4(1.25). The slope being -1/2x and the y-intercept hitting 1.25 on the y-axis.
17. 3x-3y=5. Like question 15 you will have to put it into y=mx+b format. So first you would minus 3x on both sides becoming -3y = -3x+5 then do the following: divide by -3 on both sides making the answer Y= x-5/3(-1.66666667) you can round it up to -1.67. Overall the answer should be y=x-1.67. 1.67 being the y-int meaning the line meets the y-axis at 1.67 and the slope being 1/1 to help you form the line.
