Question

8. Find the y-intercept for the linear equation: 3x - 5y = 10
​

Answer 1

Answer: y = -2 + 3x/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 3x 3 x from both sides of the equation. Divide each term by −5 - 5 and simplify. Divide each term in −5y=10−3x - 5 y = 10 - 3 x by −5 - 5 .

Answer 2

Answer:

-2

 

Let's solve for y

Step 1: Add -3x to both sides.

$3x - 5y + -3x = 10 + -3x\\-5y = -3x + 10$

Step 2: Divide both sides by -5.

$\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{-3x+10}{-5}$

$y=\frac{3}{5}x-2$

Therefore the y-intercept (the constant) is -2
