Question

Equations written in standard form can be converted to slope- intercept form by solving for y!1) x - 3y = 122) x + 5y = - 15

Answer 1

we need to solve Y on each equation

1)

`\begin{gathered} x-3y=12 \\ \\ -3y=12-x \\ y=(12-x)/(-3) \\ \\ y=(1)/(3)x-4 \end{gathered}`

2)

`\begin{gathered} x+5y=-15 \\ 5y=-15-x \\ y=(-x-15)/(5) \\ \\ y=-(1)/(5)x-3 \end{gathered}`
