3x+5y=11 in the form of y=mx+b

Step 1. Need to put above line in slope intercept form given as y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept b when x=0 or at point (0,b).

Step 2. Solving for y in 3x+5y=11 yields the following steps.

Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation

Divide by 5 to both sides of the equation

Step 4. Comparing with we have and

Step 5. ANSWER: The equation in slope-intercept form is y=-3x/5+11/5.

I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
