The equation -5x-3y=2 is a linear equation in standard form. From this equation, answer the following:a. Find the y and x-intercepts

Question

b. Write this equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

for the x-intercept, set y=0: -5x=2
for the y-intercept, set x=0: -3y=2

you want y=mx+b, so start with getting y on the left:
-3y = 5x+2
