Question 183634


{{{-5x-y=-13}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-y=-13+5x}}} Add {{{5x}}} to both sides.



{{{-y=5x-13}}} Rearrange the terms.



{{{y=(5x-13)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate y.



{{{y=((5)/(-1))x+(-13)/(-1)}}} Break up the fraction.



{{{y=-5x+13}}} Reduce.



So the equation {{{y=-5x+13}}} is now in slope intercept form {{{y=mx+b}}} where the slope is {{{m=-5}}} and the y-intercept is {{{b=13}}} note: the y-intercept is the point *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,13\right)]
