Do you want to solve for y?




x%2B5y=10 Start with the given equation


5y=10-x Subtract +x from both sides


5y=-x%2B10 Rearrange the equation


y=%28-x%2B10%29%2F%285%29 Divide both sides by 5


y=%28-1%2F5%29x%2B%2810%29%2F%285%29 Break up the fraction


y=%28-1%2F5%29x%2B2 Reduce



So the equation is now in slope-intercept form (y=mx%2Bb) where the slope is m=-1%2F5 and the y-intercept is b=2
