Standard to Slope-Intercept Form Lesson

Move the x-term to the right side using opposite

Divide every term by the coefficient (number in front) of y

Answer will look like: y = mx + b

First move 3x to the right side by doing opposite (add -3x)

First move 3x to the right side by doing opposite (add -3x)

-5y = -3x + 10

First move 3x to the right side by doing opposite (add -3x)

-5y = -3x + 10

Then divide EVERY term by -5

First move 3x to the right side by doing opposite (add -3x)

-5y = -3x + 10

Then divide EVERY term by -5

-5/-5 y = -3/-5 x + 10/-5

First move 3x to the right side by doing opposite (add -3x)

-5y = -3x + 10

Then divide EVERY term by -5

-5/-5 y = -3/-5 x + 10/-5

Then simplify the fractions

First move 3x to the right side by doing opposite (add -3x)

-5y = -3x + 10

Then divide EVERY term by -5

-5/-5 y = -3/-5 x + 10/-5

Then simplify the fractions

y = 3/5x - 2

First move 3x to the right side by doing opposite (add -3x)

-5y = -3x + 10

Then divide EVERY term by -5

-5/-5 y = -3/-5 x + 10/-5

Then simplify the fractions

y = 3/5x - 2

Slope is 3/5 and the y-intercept is -2
