Transform the equation \(x - 3y = -15\) to express it in slope-intercept form.
Answer (2)
x -3y = -15
Subtract 'x' from each side:
-3y = -x - 15
Divide each side by -3 :
y = 1/3 x + 5
This is 'slope-intercept' form.
The equation x − 3 y = − 15 can be transformed into slope-intercept form as y = 3 1 x + 5 . In this form, the slope is 3 1 and the y-intercept is 5. This indicates how the line behaves and where it crosses the y-axis.
