Question

Transform the equation x-3y=15 to express it in slope-intercept form

Answer 1

Hello !

Answer:

`\boxed{y=(1)/(3)x-5}`

Explanation:

An equation in slope-intercept form is
`y=mx+b`.

Let's isolate y in our equation :

`x-3y=15\\-3y=-x+15\\3y=x-15\\y=(1)/(3)x-5`

Our equation is in the form
`y=mx+b` with
`m=(1)/(3)` and
`b=-5`.

Have a nice day

Answer 2

y = (1/3)x - 5

Explanation:

x - 3y = 15

x - 15 = 3y

3y = x -15

y = (1/3)x - 5
