What is 5/3 y = - (x-5 ) in slope intercept form

Answer 1

The slope-intercept form of a line takes the form

y = mx + b

The value y = b (taken when x = 0) is called the y - intercept. The slope-intercept form of a line is unique.

With our line, (5/3)y = -(x-5), we can do some algebra to obtain

(5/3)y = -(x-5) -> y = -(3/5)(x-5) -> y = -(3/5)x + 3

This is the slope-intercept form, with m = -3/5 as the slope and b = 3 as the y-intercept.
