Question

Find the slope and y intercept of the line 5x - 3y =12

Answer 1

`y = (5)/(3)x - 4`

Explanation:

move the 5x to a -5x

-3y= -5x+12

-3/-3= -5x÷ -3 12÷ -3

Answer 2

slope = 5/3

y-intercept = -4

Explanation:

First, move the x to the other side of the equation:
-3y=-5x+12
Then, divide BOTH sides by -3, so that there is no coefficient next to y:
y=5/3x-4

Then, just look at the constant and coefficient next to x (m). The slope is 5/3 and the y-intercept is -4.

Hope this helps!
