Write the equation for 5x + 2y = 3 in slope-intercept form.

y = 5/2 x - 3/5
y = -5/2x + 3/2
y = -2/5x +3/5

Answer:

Choice b is correct.y = -5/2x+3/2 is the slope intercept form of given equation.

Explanation:

We have given the equation:

5x + 2y = 3

We have to write the equation in slope intercept form.

The general slope intercept form of equation is :

y = mx+c

Where m = slope and c is the y-intercept.

We have given the expression:

5x + 2y = 3

2y = 3-5x

y = (3-5x)/2

y = 3/2-5/2x

y = -5/2x+3/2

y = -5/2x+3/2 is the slope intercept form of given equation.

Where m = -5/2 and y-intercept = 3/2
