-10x%2B6y=-30 Start with the given equation.


6y=-30--10x Add 10x to both sides.


6y=--10x-30 Rearrange the terms.


y=%28--10x-30%29%2F%286%29 Divide both sides by 6 to isolate y.


y=%28%28--10%29%2F%286%29%29x%2B%28-30%29%2F%286%29 Break up the fraction.


y=%285%2F3%29x-5 Reduce.


So the equation y=%285%2F3%29x-5 is now in slope intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=5%2F3 and the y-intercept is b=-5 note: the y-intercept is the point
