Question 133167
Do you want to  solve for y?





{{{x+5y=10}}} Start with the given equation



{{{5y=10-x}}}  Subtract {{{ x}}} from both sides



{{{5y=-x+10}}} Rearrange the equation



{{{y=(-x+10)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{5}}}



{{{y=(-1/5)x+(10)/(5)}}} Break up the fraction



{{{y=(-1/5)x+2}}} Reduce




So the equation is now in slope-intercept form ({{{y=mx+b}}}) where the slope is {{{m=-1/5}}} and the y-intercept is {{{b=2}}}
