Question 1205898
.
What is x-y = −5 in slope intercept form
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
The slope-intercept form of linear equation is y = mx + b.


To get this form, variable "y" should be expressed via variable "x".


In your case, to get this form, simply move "y" to the right 
and move 5 to the left. Do not forget to change the signs of these terms on the way.


You will get then

    x + 5 = y.


Now swap left side and right side

    y = x + 5.


It is what you want to get.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  The slope-intercept form of the given equation is y = x + 5.
</pre>

Solved.


---------------


In the slope-intercept form, &nbsp;" m " &nbsp;is the slope.


In your case, &nbsp;the slope is &nbsp;m = 1.  &nbsp;You can see it directly and explicitly from the slope-intercept equation - - - 
- - - therefore, &nbsp;there is &nbsp;NO &nbsp;NEED &nbsp;to re-calculate the slope again, &nbsp;as the other tutor does.
