Get the equation into slope-intercept form, so that the slope and y-intercept can be identified.
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b m is the slope b is the y-intercept 5y - 3x = -15 5y = 3x - 15 {added 3x to each side} y = (3/5)x - 3 {divided each side by 5} slope = 3/5 y-intercept is -3 The graph with a slope of 3/5 and a y-intercept of -3 is B.) Ask Algebra House |
