Question 313043: slope intercept form of 2x-y=-5

To change to slope intercept form, just solve for y.
2x-y=-5

Subtract 2x from each side:
-y=-2x-5

Divide both sides by -1:
y=2x+5

For additional help with GRAPHING and SLOPE of a LINE, please see own my website by clicking on my tutor name "Rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com. Then click on the link there to my website. From my Homepage, look for the link "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Look for "Basic Algebra" and look in Chapter 4. There are several sections that relate to graphing. This is FULL of examples, exercises, and answers to all the exercises. See also the "Math in Living Color" pages where many of these exercises are solved IN COLOR. My own students used to tell me that my explanations are much easier to understand than the traditional textbooks. Perhaps you will like this section.

I also have a video on the topic of GRAPHING. To see the video, which by the way is FREE, from my Homepage, look for the link "Rapalje Videos in Living Color." Choose "Basic Algebra" , and look for the video "Graphing and Slope of a Line."

I just want to make math easier for people who have trouble with math. It's usually not as hard as everyone thinks it is. The website has a lot of resources--all FREE.
