Answer:

y = -5/3x + 1/3

Explanation:

slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b, so we need to isolate the 'y'

5x + 3y = 1

3y = -5x + 1

y = -5/3x + 1/3

Answer:

y = -5/3x + 1/3

Explanation:

5x + 3y = 1

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b

So we subtract 5x from both sides:

3y = -5x + 1

Divide both sides by 3:

y = -5/3x + 1/3
