1. To find slope use the slope equation which would be (3 - -1)/ (5-3). The slope is m = 4\2 which is m = 2

2. Plug in one of the points to find the y-intercept. Using the point (5,3) , you would plug this point into the slope intercept equation, along with the slope which was found. 3= (2 x 5) +b. Solving this equation b=-7

3. The slop intercept form is y = 2x - 7

I hope this is the right answer!

Answer:

$x = 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x - 5 = 10$

We want to isolate the x.

$3x - 5 = 10\\+5\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; +5$

$3x = 15$

Now, we want the x not to have a coefficient. We want it just to be x =. We will do this via inverse operations. Since 3 x is 3 multiplied by x, we will divide each side by 3.

$\frac{3x}{3} \;=\;\frac{15}{3}$
