x + 5y = -15
Please help! Easy 10pts!
what do you want to know about it? be more specific.
if you are putting it in slope intercept form you get the y all by itself on oneside in the form y=mx+b
y=mx+b
x+5y=-15
subtract x from both sides
5y= -x -15
divide both sides by 5, so all terms are divided by 5
y= -1/5x -3
so the equation would be y= -1/5x -3
the slope: -1/5
y-intercept: -3
did that help?
