Question 23082: find the slope and the y-intercept of the line.
5x+3y=25
-y=36+5x
7x-8y=-2
write the slope-intercept form of the equation.
5x+12y=13
12y=-35+7x
-y=-3+9x

The slope intercept form is y=mx+b where m=the slope and b=the y-intercept. Therefore, solving a linear equation for y will give you the information that you need.

5x+3y=25
3y=-5x+25
y = -5/3x + 25/3
We now easily see that the slope of this line is -5/3 and the y-intercept is 25/3.
