Question

How do you convert 5y-x+4=0 into y=mx+b form?

Answer 1

$5y-x+4=0$

~Add x to both sides

$5y+4=x$

~Subtract 4 from both sides

$5y=x-4$

~Divide both sides by 5

$\frac{5}{5}y= \frac{1x}{5} - \frac{4}{5}$

~Simplify

$y= \frac{1}{5} x- \frac{4}{5}$

~M= $\frac{1}{5}$

~B=$-\frac{4}{5}$
