Question

rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.
$13x + 5y = 20$
write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the y-term

Subtract $13x$ from both sides.
$13x + 5y - 13x = 20 - 13x$
Simplify to get: $5y = -13x + 20$

Step2: Solve for y

Divide all terms by 5.
$\frac{5y}{5} = \frac{-13x}{5} + \frac{20}{5}$

Answer:

$y = -\frac{13}{5}x + 4$
