Question

how can you alter the equation $3x + y = 5$ to slope - intercept form?
\\(\circ\\) a. $y = 3 - x$
\\(\circ\\) b. $y = - 3x + 5$
\\(\circ\\) c. $y = - 3x - 5$
\\(\circ\\) d. $y = 3x + 5$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is $y = mx + b$.

Step2: Isolate $y$ in the equation

Subtract $3x$ from both sides: $3x + y - 3x = 5 - 3x$

Step3: Simplify the equation

$y = -3x + 5$

Answer:

b. $y = -3x + 5$
