Solved by pluggable solver: Converting Linear Equations in Standard form to Slope-Intercept Form (and vice versa)
Convert from standard form (Ax+By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx+b)


\"5x-3y=7\" Start with the given equation


\"5x-3y-5x=7-5x\" Subtract 5x from both sides


\"-3y=-5x%2B7\" Simplify


\"%28-3y%29%2F%28-3%29=%28-5x%2B7%29%2F%28-3%29\" Divide both sides by -3 to isolate y


\"y+=+%28-5x%29%2F%28-3%29%2B%287%29%2F%28-3%29\" Break up the fraction on the right hand side


\"y+=+%285%2F3%29x-7%2F3\" Reduce and simplify


The original equation \"5x-3y=7\" (standard form) is equivalent to \"y+=+%285%2F3%29x-7%2F3\" (slope-intercept form)


The equation \"y+=+%285%2F3%29x-7%2F3\" is in the form \"y=mx%2Bb\" where \"m=5%2F3\" is the slope and \"b=-7%2F3\" is the y intercept.

Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the Equation of a Line Parallel or Perpendicular to a Given Line

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Remember, any two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other. So if you're given the slope of \"5%2F3\", you can find the perpendicular slope by this formula:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"m%5Bp%5D=-1%2Fm\" where \"m%5Bp%5D\" is the perpendicular slope
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"m%5Bp%5D=-1%2F%285%2F3%29\" So plug in the given slope to find the perpendicular slope
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"m%5Bp%5D=%28-1%2F1%29%283%2F5%29\" When you divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction (which is really \"1%2F1\") by the reciprocal of the second
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"m%5Bp%5D=-3%2F5\" Multiply the fractions.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So the perpendicular slope is \"-3%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So now we know the slope of the unknown line is \"-3%2F5\" (its the negative reciprocal of \"5%2F3\" from the line \"y=%285%2F3%29%2Ax-7%2F3\").\n" ); document.write( "Also since the unknown line goes through (8,-2), we can find the equation by plugging in this info into the point-slope formula

\n" ); document.write( " \"y=%28-3%2F5%29%2Ax%2B24%2F5-2\"Subtract \"-2\" from both sides to isolate y

\n" ); document.write( " \"y=%28-3%2F5%29%2Ax%2B14%2F5\" Reduce any fractions
