What is the slope-intercept form of the linear equation 5x+3y=9 ?(1 point) Responses y = −53x+3 y = −53x+3 y = 53x+3 y = 53x+3 y = −53x+9 y = −53x+9 y = −5x+3 y = −5x+3 y = 53x−3

1 answer

To convert the equation \(5x + 3y = 9\) into slope-intercept form, which is \(y = mx + b\) (where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept), we need to solve for \(y\).

Starting with the original equation:

\[ 5x + 3y = 9 \]

Subtract \(5x\) from both sides:

\[ 3y = -5x + 9 \]

Now, divide each term by \(3\) to isolate \(y\):

\[ y = -\frac{5}{3}x + 3 \]

So the slope-intercept form is:

\[ y = -\frac{5}{3}x + 3 \]

However, it appears that the answer options you provided might have a typo or slight misunderstanding. The closest form to the correct transformation is likely:

\[ y = -\frac{5}{3}x + 3 \]

Of the provided responses, none matches exactly to the derived equation. It appears that the closest would be:

  • y = −53x + 3

If we consider the notion of “−53” as a misprinted representation for “−5/3”, that could be a plausible option. Please check the source of your answers for consistency.
