ABOUT SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM:

  • y = mx + b
  • m represents the slope
  • b represents the y-intercept

You have to get y by itself:

5x + 8y = 16

-5x -5x

8y = -5x + 15

8 8

y = -5/8x + 15/8

OR

I you wants to simplify 15/8, it's this:

y = -5/8x +1.875

HI!!! Really really sorry if I'm incorrect...
