Question

convert to slope-intercept form:
y=6x-5

Answer 1

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form: → $y=mx+b$

m: represents the slope and is constant.

b: represents the y-intercept.

Rise/run

$\frac{rise}{run}$

$m=\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}$

So therefore, the slope for m is -6.

y-intercept for b is -5.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Remember that standard form is the following:

$Ax + By = C$

• $A$, $B$, and $C$ are constants

Thus, let's first work on getting $y$ and $x$ to the same side of the equation. Let's subtract $-6x$ from both sides of the equation and see what that gets us:

$y - 6x = -5$

Rearranging the terms on the left side gets us:

$-6x + y = -5$

However, in standard form, $A$ must be positive, so let's multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to cancel out the first negative sign:

$6x - y = 5$

Our answer is 6x - y = 5.
