Algebra Examples

x + 6 y = 5

$x + 6 y = 5$

Step 1

The slope-intercept form is

y = m x + b

$y = m x + b$ , where

m

$m$ is the slope and

b

$b$ is the y-intercept.

y = m x + b

$y = m x + b$

Step 2

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

Step 2.1

Subtract

x

$x$ from both sides of the equation.

6 y = 5 - x

$6 y = 5 - x$

Step 2.2

Divide each term in

6 y = 5 - x

$6 y = 5 - x$ by

6

$6$ and simplify.

Step 2.2.1

Divide each term in

6 y = 5 - x

$6 y = 5 - x$ by

6

$6$ .

\frac{6 y}{6} = \frac{5}{6} + \frac{- x}{6}

$\frac{6 y}{6} = \frac{5}{6} + \frac{- x}{6}$

Step 2.2.2

Step 2.2.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

\frac{6 y}{6} = \frac{5}{6} + \frac{- x}{6}

$\frac{6 y}{6} = \frac{5}{6} + \frac{- x}{6}$

Step 2.2.2.1.2

Divide

y

$y$ by

1

$1$ .

y = \frac{5}{6} + \frac{- x}{6}

$y = \frac{5}{6} + \frac{- x}{6}$

y = \frac{5}{6} + \frac{- x}{6}

$y = \frac{5}{6} + \frac{- x}{6}$

y = \frac{5}{6} + \frac{- x}{6}

$y = \frac{5}{6} + \frac{- x}{6}$

Step 2.2.3

Simplify the right side.

Step 2.2.3.1

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

y = \frac{5}{6} - \frac{x}{6}

$y = \frac{5}{6} - \frac{x}{6}$

y = \frac{5}{6} - \frac{x}{6}

$y = \frac{5}{6} - \frac{x}{6}$

y = \frac{5}{6} - \frac{x}{6}

$y = \frac{5}{6} - \frac{x}{6}$

Step 2.3

Write in

y = m x + b

$y = m x + b$ form.

Step 2.3.1

Reorder

\frac{5}{6}

$\frac{5}{6}$ and

- \frac{x}{6}

$- \frac{x}{6}$ .

y = - \frac{x}{6} + \frac{5}{6}

$y = - \frac{x}{6} + \frac{5}{6}$

Step 2.3.2

Reorder terms.

y = - (\frac{1}{6} x) + \frac{5}{6}

$y = - (\frac{1}{6} x) + \frac{5}{6}$

Step 2.3.3

Remove parentheses.

y = - \frac{1}{6} x + \frac{5}{6}

$y = - \frac{1}{6} x + \frac{5}{6}$

y = - \frac{1}{6} x + \frac{5}{6}

$y = - \frac{1}{6} x + \frac{5}{6}$

y = - \frac{1}{6} x + \frac{5}{6}

$y = - \frac{1}{6} x + \frac{5}{6}$
