Write the equation 5x-2y=3 in slope intercept form

Slope intercept form: y=mx+b
in other words, isolate y.

5x-2y=3

Subtract 5x from both sides
-2y=(-5x+3)

Divide both sides by -2
y=5/2x-3/2

Answer:
y=5/2x-3/2

Start with the given equation.


Subtract from both sides.


Rearrange the terms.


Divide both sides by to isolate y.


Break up the fraction.


Reduce.


So the equation is now in slope intercept form where the slope is and the y-intercept is note: the y-intercept is the point
