PLEASE HELP WITH THIS MATH PROBLEM!!

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-08-19] [Hit: ]
Seeing as y has a -5 in front of it,Go get a graphing calculator to really picture it.The slope is how steep the graph will rise. A slope of one means if you move over one you go up one.Like a stair kinda.The y intercept is how high up the line crosses the y axis.......
I have to find the slope and y-intercept, AND SHOW MY WORK, for the equation -15 - x = -5y. Can you help? It's not like I'm trying to cheat, I really don't get it! Thanks!

-15-x=-5y
-5y=-15-x
divide by -5
y=3+x

First put the equation in point slope form

Y=mx+b

The number m (the number in front of the x) is the slope
The number b (the number all by itself) is the y intercept.

Just rewrite the function in this for. Seeing as y has a -5 in front of it, you divide the entire thing by -5

So

-5y=-15-5x now divide by -5 to isolate the y

Y=3+x rewrite a y=mx+b
Y=x+3

The m=slope=1
And b=y intercept=3

Go get a graphing calculator to really picture it. The slope is how steep the graph will rise. A slope of one means if you move over one you go up one. Like a stair kinda. The y intercept is how high up the line crosses the y axis.

y=3
