y + 3x = 5

1 answer

The equation y+3x=5 can be rewritten in several ways depending on what you're looking to do with it. Here are a few forms:

  1. Slope-intercept form (y = mx + b): To express the equation in slope-intercept form (where y is isolated on one side), you can rearrange it: y=3x+5 In this form, the slope m is -3 and the y-intercept b is 5.

  2. Standard form (Ax + By = C): The equation is already in standard form y+3x=5 or can also be written as: 3x+y=5 where A=3, B=1, and C=5.

  3. Finding intercepts:

    • Y-intercept: Set x=0: y+3(0)=5y=5 So the y-intercept is (0,5).
    • X-intercept: Set y=0: 0+3x=5x=53 So the x-intercept is (53,0).
