How do u write an equation in slope-intercept form?

Question

how do u write this equation in slope-intercept form:

2x + 6y = -5

please show how u get the answer

i got the concept, thankx guys

Answer 1

2x + 6y = -5 (original equation)
6y = -2x -5 (subtract 2x from each side)
y = -1/3x -5/6 (divide each side by 6 to get the y by itself)


y = -1/3x -5/6 would be your answers b/c slope intercept form is y = mx + b

Answer 2

The slope intercept form is:
y = mx + b

Where m = slope and b is the y-intercept.

Here's how to solve it:
2x + 6y = -5

Subtract 2x from each side
2x - 2x + 6 y = -2x - 5

Simplify:
6y = -2x - 5

Now, divide both sides by 6, so that y = 1.
6y / 6 = (-2x - 5) / 6

Simplify:
y = -2/6x - 5/6 or
y = -1/3 x - 5/6

Easy as cake.

Answer 3

slope intercept form is: y=mx+b soo... (you need to get y by itself on one side of the equation.. and then the 2x and -5 by themselves on the other side.. then just solve for y by isolating y)

the equation 2x + 6y= -5 would be
2x +5 = -6y then divide by 6
-1/3x - 5/6 = y

Answer 4

slope intercept for is y=mx+b

simply subtract 2x from both sides
6y= -2x -5

then divide both side by 6

y = (-2x -5)/6

your y intercept will be at x = -5/2 or -1.5

Answer 5

6y=-2x-5
y=-1/3x-5/6
slope=-1/3
y intercept=-5/6

Answer 6

get the y by itself then divide both sides by 2, then u should be good

Answer 7

the equation should be y=mx+b, so solve for y, and you'll have the equation!

Answer 8

that's easy......
2x+6y=-5
6y = -5 -2x..................Subtract 2x from both sides
y = (-5/6) - (2/6)x..............divede both sides by 6
y = -.3x - .83.....................Simplify the fraction
TADA there u have it!!!!!!

Answer 9

y=mx+b hmm...I haven't done math in years.

Answer 10

wtf this is hard stuff
