5x+10y=30 in slope intercept form

Answer 1

Hi,

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. So, you need to solve the equation for y, meaning to get y alone on one side.

I order to do that for the equation 5x + 10y = 30, first you need to subtract 5x from both sides.

10y = 30 - 5x

Next, you need to divide both sides by 10.

y = 3 - (5/10)x

y = 3 - (1/2)x

If necessary, you can rearrange the equation to look like y = -(1/2)x + 3

I hope that made it easier to understand!

Answer 2

y=mx+c is the format we want where c is the intercept

5x+10y=30

isolate y:

y=(30-5x)/10

y= -.5y+3

slope is -.5 and intercept is 3

Answer 3

Hi Avalon,

Slope-intercept is y = mx+b

m=slope

b=y-intercept

To convert, get y by itself:

Subtract 5x on both sides:

5x + 10y = 30

10y = -5x + 30

Now divide by 10 on both sides:

y= (-1/2)x +3

I hope this helps.
