Question 127107: I have no example of such question and I am stuck on this one. I do know how to change to slope intercept form. This is the question: Given the equation x+ky=3, find k so that its graph has the same slope as the graph of 2x+y=5

Slope-intercept form is , so all you need do is solve the equation for y. Once you have done that, you know that the slope is whatever the coefficient on x turns out to be.

Add -2x to both sides:

Note that now we have y on the left and everything else on the right. The slope is then -2.

Add -x to both sides:

Now divide both sides by k:

Here the coefficient on x is , but we want to know what k would be so that

Multiply by -1

Divide 1 by both sides:

Simplify:

2x + y = 5
2x -2x + y =5 - 2x
y= -2x+5
m= -2 (slope) b= 5 (y intercept)
