Question

77-y=5x Rewrite the equation in simplified slope-intercept form

Answer 1

y = - 5x + 77

Explanation:

Slope intercept form means,

y = mx + c

Here,

m - slope of the line

c - y intercept

And now to write the given expression in slope intercept form you can simply make y the subject in the equation.

Let us write it now.

77 - y = 5x

Subtract 77 from both sides.

-y = 5x - 77

To make y value positive multiply the whole equation by -1.

y = - 5x + 77

Answer 2

y = -5x +77

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

77 - y = 5x

Subtract 77 from each side

77-y-77 = 5x-77

-y = 5x-77

Multiply each side by -1

y = -5x +77
