Answer:


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

Explanation:

2x - 5y = -15

Firstly, you will need to isolate the variable you are solving for, in this case, y.

2x - 2x - 5y = -15 - 2x

-5y = -15 - 2x

-5y/-5 = -15/-5 - 2x/-5

A negative divided or multiplied by a negative is positive.


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

Rearrange.


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