what is the slope and y-intercept of 3y-x=5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Manipulate the given formula into the \"slope-intercept\" form of a line:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "m is the slope
\n" ); document.write( "b is the y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Starting with:
\n" ); document.write( "3y-x=5
\n" ); document.write( "Add 'x' to both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "3y = x+5
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 3:
\n" ); document.write( "y = x/3 + 5/3
\n" ); document.write( "Or, we can rewrite as:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (1/3)x + 5/3
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So,
\n" ); document.write( "slope is 1/3
\n" ); document.write( "y-intercept is at (0, 5/3)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
