determine the slope and y intercept then graph 5-y=3x

Question

Determine the slope and y-intercept then graph

Answer 1

Here is the recipe:

 

1.  put the equation in y=mx+b format

 

m = slope

b = y intercept

 

2.  

5-y=3x

(subtract 5 from each side)

-y = 3x-5

(multiply both sides by -1) results in:

 

y=-3x+5

 

Slope (m) = -3

y intercept = 5

 

Note:  This equation is worth the time to memorize forever.

Answer 2

Just simply  5- y = 3x

 

   Make your equation looks like in the form of Y = mx +b

 

     in this case will be:

 

       Y = -3X +5

 

       m ( slope) = -3 ,      b( Y intercept ) = 5

 

Answer 3

An easy way to find the slope and y-intercept of a line given its equation is to write that equation in slope-intercept form: y = m x + b

To do that, isolate y.

 

5 - y = 3 x    (subtract 5 from both sides)

-y = 3 x - 5    (negate both side, i.e. multiply both sides by -1)

y = -3 x + 5

 

Now it becomes clear that the slope, m = -3 and the y-intercept, b = 5.
