Convert from standard form (Ax+By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx+b)
Start with the given equation
Add 5x to both sides
Simplify
Divide both sides by 10 to isolate y
Break up the fraction on the right hand side
Reduce and simplify
The original equation (standard form) is equivalent to (slope-intercept form)
The equation is in the form where is the slope and is the y intercept.
Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the slope and y-intercept.
–5x + 10y = 70
--------------------------
Solve for y:
-x + 2y = 14
y = (1/2)x + 7
------------------
slope = 1/2
y-intercept = 7
