Question

consider the following linear equation 5x-5y=15 determine the slope and Y-intercept (entered as an ordered x and y pair) of the equation

Answer 1

The first step to solve this problem is to rewrite the equation in slope intercept form, to do it, solve the given equation for y:

`\begin{gathered} 5x-5y=15 \\ -5y=-5x+15 \\ y=x-3 \end{gathered}`

According to this, the slope of the line is 1.

The y intercept is (0,-3).

The line graphed should look like this:
