Question

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.

15x+3y= 21

Answer 1

y = -5x + 7

Explanation:

Isolate the variable y.

Subtract 15x from left side and add to right.

Now its: 3y = 21 - 15x

Divide 3 from both sides.

y = 7 - 5x

Convert to slope intercept form: y=mx+b

Final answer: y = -5x + 7
