Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line.


5x + 8y = 31

Answer 1

5x + 8y = 31

8y = -5x + 31

y = -0,625x + 3,875

y = mx + b

m = slope

b = intercept

y = -0,625x + 3,875

slope = -0,625

intercept = 3,875

Answer 2

Explanation:

1.) Move the 5 to the other side of the equation

8y = -5x + 31

2.)

Divide by 8

y= .625x + 3.8
