Do you want to solve for y?


Solved by pluggable solver: Converting Linear Equations in Standard form to Slope-Intercept Form (and vice versa)
Convert from standard form (Ax+By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx+b)


2x%2B1y=5 Start with the given equation


2x%2B1y-2x=5-2x Subtract 2x from both sides


1y=-2x%2B5 Simplify


The original equation 2x%2B1y=5 (standard form) is equivalent to y+=+-2x%2B5 (slope-intercept form)


The equation y+=+-2x%2B5 is in the form y=mx%2Bb where m=-2 is the slope and b=5 is the y intercept.
