Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the following linear equation.
15x – 10y = 10

Answer 1

The slope of the line described by the equation 15x – 10y = 10 is m = 15/10 = 1.5, and the y-intercept is b = 10/15 = 2/3.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:Slope is 1.5, and the y-intercept is -1

Explanation:

So in order to get the slope and y-intercept, you have to put the equation in slope form, y=mx+b

Here’s the work for it

15x-10y=10

-15x -15x

-10y=-15x+10

Now divide -10 on both sides

y=1.5x-1

Now that it’s in the right form, you can easily see the slope is 1.5 and the y-intercept is -1
