In general terms, the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

To transform the equation:

5x + 3y = 2

into slope-intercept form, you have to isolate y, as follows:

3y = 2 - 5x

y = 2/3 - 5/3x

where the slope is -5/3 and the y-intercept is (0, 2/3)
