Question

Put the following equation into slope intercept form: 5x – 3y = -9.

A.) y = − 5/3 x – 3

B.) y = 5/3 x + 3

C.) y = −3/5 x – 3

D.) y = 3/5 x + 3

Answer 1

y =
`(5)/(3)` x + 3 → B

subtract 5x from both sides

- 3y = - 5x - 9 ( multiply through by ( - 1 ) )

3y = 5x + 9 ( divide all terms by 3 )

y =
`(5)/(3)` x + 3 ( in slope- intercept form )
