Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). Choose the correct answer.

6x + y = −7
  • y = −6x - 8
  • y = 6x - 7
  • y = −6x - 7
  • y = −6x + 7

Answer: y = -6x - 7

Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). Choose the correct answer.

−5x + 2y = 8
  • y = (52)x - 4
  • y = (52)x + 4
  • y = (−52)x + 4
  • y = (52)x + 8
📘 Worked solution
1−5x + 2y = 8Solve this equation for y to put it in slope-intercept form y = mx + b.
22y = 5x + 8Move the x-term to the other side of the equation to isolate the y-term.
3y = (5x + 8) / 2Divide every term by 2 to solve for y.
4y = (52)x + 4Dividing each term by 2 gives the slope 5/2 and the y-intercept 4.
