Question

Change 5x+1=4y+7 to slope intercept form ( y=mx+b)

Answer 1

Work shown below!

Explanation:

5x + 1 = 4y + 7 to y = mx + b

5x + 1 = 4y + 7

Subtract 7 from both sides;

5x - 6 = 4y OR 4y = 5x - 6

4y = 5x - 6

Divide both sides by 4;

`y=(5)/(4)x-(6)/(4) \\\\y=(5)/(4)x- (3)/(2)`

Answer 2

Explanation:

5x + 1 = 4y + 7

5x - 4y = 7 - 1

-4y = -5x + 6

-4y/-4 = -5x/-4 + 6/-4

y = 5/4x - 6/4

y = 5/4x - 3/2
