Algebra.Com's Answer #198769 by LarissaRichardson(34)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You need to start by putting it slope intercept form: y=mx+b \n" ); document.write( "5x-3y=30 I suggest to keep the y value positive if possible. \n" ); document.write( "In this case: \n" ); document.write( "3y=5x-30 \n" ); document.write( "Now divide by 3 to get: \n" ); document.write( "y=5\3x-10\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "m=slope \n" ); document.write( "b=y intercept \n" ); document.write( "Hence: \n" ); document.write( "slope=5/3 \n" ); document.write( "y-intercept=-10 \n" ); document.write( " |
