Question 80993: Hello out there,I need some help with some math problems that I'm having a hard time with,the first one is,Determine the y-intercept of the graph:-3x-5y=15.The next one is,Determine the slope and y-intercept of the graph:3x+y=8.The next one is,Determine the slope and y-intercept of the graph:-x+2y=4.And the last one is,Change y=x-3 so that the graph of the new equation has a steeper,negative slope and the same y-intercept.Thanks to whoever can help me.
Answer by tutor_paul(519) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The key to all of these problems is to rewrite the given equation of the line in slope/intercept form. That is:

Where m=slope and b=y-intercept.
So for your first problem:

Solve it for y to get it into slope/intercept form:

Now that the equation is in the right form, you can just read off the slope and y-intercept:

Armed with this explanation, you should be able to handle the rest of the problems.
Good Luck,
