How do you write 2x-3y=-15 In slope intercept form?

First question!

To get slope intercept form from standard form or any other form, we just solve for y.

2x - 3y = -15

Add 3y to both sides and add 15 to both sides,

2x + 15 = 3y

Divide both sides by 3 for our answer,

Answer: y = (2/3) x + 5

First, you subtract 2x on both sides

- 3y = - 2x - 15


divided on both sides by -3

y = ( - 2)/( - 3) x - (15)/( - 3)


y = (2)/(3) x + 5
