Slope intercept form is y = mx+ b

So in order to turn 5y-3x + 20 = 0 into Slope intercept form, all we need to do is solve for y!

Let's do it!

  • add 3x to the right side of the equation

5y - 3x + 20 = 0

5y + 20 = 3x

  • move 20 to the right side

5y = 3x - 20

  • Divide both sides of the equation by 5

y = 3/5x - 4

This is our answer!
