Question 427010: Could someone please show me how to graph the equation and identify the y intercept?
1. x=1/2x
2. 5x-15=3y

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you put the equation in the form y = mx + b
the m is the slope and the b is the y-intercept.

Could someone please show me how to graph the equation and identify the y intercept?
1. x=1/2x
Did you mean y = (1/2)x ?
If you did, the slope is (1/2); the y-intercept is zero

2. 5x-15=3y
y = (5/3)x-(15/3)
y = (5/3)x-5
slope = 5/3; y-intercept is -5
