Question

Write the linear equation 5x-15y=-8 in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

5x - 15y = -8

15y = 5x - 8

Answer: 15y = 5x - 8

Answer 2

Hello!

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b

You have to get the equation into this format

5x - 15y = -8

Subtract 5x from both sides

-15y = -5x - 8

Divide both sides by -15

y = 1/3x + 8/15

The answer is $y = \frac{1}{3} x + \frac{8}{15}$

Hope this helps!
