Write the linear equation 3y=5x−18 in slope-intercept form.(1 point)

1 answer

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

To get the equation 3y = 5x - 18 into slope-intercept form, we need to solve for y.

First, we can divide both sides by 3:
3y/3 = 5x/3 - 18/3
y = (5/3)x - 6

So the slope of this equation is 5/3 and the y-intercept is -6.

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the equation is:
y = (5/3)x - 6
