Answer:
y = 3/4x - 5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
6x=8y+10
Well you must first get your equation set up into the form called "Slope intercept."
6x=8y+10
Add 8y on both of your sides because your y is suppose to be alone.
8y + 6x = 10
Subtract 6x on both sides since it is in fact the opposite of addition.
8y = 6x + 10
Now, you will divide by 8 on both sides. When doing this your y will be alone.
y= 6/8x + 10/8
Note: You can leave it like this but you want to probably simplify.
y = 3/4x + 5/2
or
y = 3/4x - 5/4
