Question 226647: what is the slope and y intercept of the graph of 5x-2y=30?
you need to write this in terms of y :
5x-2y = 30
bringing 5x to the other side becomes -2y = 30 - 5x
dividing by -2 becomes y = 30/-2 -5x/-2
arrage it becomes y = 5x/2 -15
looking at the equestion we can find the slope and y intercept
slope = 5x/2 , y-int = -15
good luck

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Remember that the slope intercept form is,,,y=mx+b,,,,with m=slope,,and b= y intercept
,
starting with 5x-2y = 30
.
-2y = -5x +30
.
y= (5/2)x -15
.
or slope = m = (5/2)
.
and y intercept =b = (-15)
.
.
checking,,,x=0,,,y= -15 ok
.
let y=0,,,,x= 6
.
m= (15)/ 6 = 5/2,,,,ok
.
