Given the expression 8x+3y>15

To write it in y-intercept form you have to write the equation in terms of y: y=mx+b

To do so you have to leave y in one side of the inequation and all other terms must be in the other side of the inequation


\begin{gathered} 8x+3y>15\text{ \rightarrow{}subtract8x to both sides} \\ 8x-8x+3y>15-8x \\ 3y>15-8x\to\text{divide both sides by 3} \\ (3y)/(3)>(15)/(3)-(8x)/(3) \\ y>5-(8)/(3)x \end{gathered}

The y-intercept form i¡of the expression is y=5-8/3x

*-*-*-

8x+3y>15 → subtract 8x from both sides of the inequation

8x-8x+3y>15-8x

3y>15-8x → divide both sides by 3

3y/3>15/3-8x/3

y>5-8/3x
