Question

8.5x-y= 16
O -y= 5x + 16
O x=5y-16
O y= 5x +16
O y= 5x- 16

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 5x - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this question, we must convert 5x - y = 16 into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).

2. (Solving for y)

Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.

• $5x - y - 5x = 16 - 5x$
• $-y = -5x +16$  

Step 2: Divide both sides by -1.

• $\frac{-y}{-1} =\frac{-5x+16}{-1}$
• $y = 5x - 16$

Therefore, the answer is y = 5x - 16.
