Question

Pick the correct description of the line 5x + 3y=15

Answer 1

5x + 3y = 15
3y = -5x + 15
y = -5/3x + 5

slope is -5/3
y int (where ur line crosses the y axis) is (0,5)
x int (where ur line crosses the x axis) is (3,0)

ur line will be slanting downward because of ur negative slope

Answer 2

The correct description is
`y=5-(5x)/(3)`

Explanation:

In this case, firts we have to organize the equation in the normal way, where y is alone in one side, this is:

`5x+3y=15\\3y=15-5x\\y=(15)/(3)-(5x)/(3)  \\y=5-(5x)/(3)`

The correct description is
`y=5-(5x)/(3)`

Now we can see that the slope of the equation is
`-(5)/(3)`
