Convert the equations from standard form to slope-intercept form.

Solution

To convert these equations from standard form (Ax+By=CAx + By = C) to slope-intercept form (y=mx+by = mx + b), we'll solve each equation for yy in terms of xx. Here are the steps for each problem:

Problem 5: 2xy=72x - y = -7

  1. Start with the equation:
    2xy=72x - y = -7

  2. Isolate yy by moving 2x2x to the other side:
    y=2x7-y = -2x - 7

  3. Divide by 1-1 to solve for yy:
    y=2x+7y = 2x + 7

Solution: y=2x+7y = 2x + 7

Problem 6: 5x+3y=125x + 3y = 12

  1. Start with the equation:
    5x+3y=125x + 3y = 12

  2. Isolate 3y3y by moving 5x5x to the other side:
    3y=5x+123y = -5x + 12

  3. Divide by 33 to solve for yy:
    y=53x+4y = -\frac{5}{3}x + 4

Solution: y=53x+4y = -\frac{5}{3}x + 4

Problem 7: xy=1x - y = 1

  1. Start with the equation:
    xy=1x - y = 1

  2. Isolate y-y by moving xx to the other side:
    y=x+1-y = -x + 1

  3. Divide by 1-1 to solve for yy:
    y=x1y = x - 1

Solution: y=x1y = x - 1

Problem 8: x3y=15x - 3y = -15

  1. Start with the equation:
    x3y=15x - 3y = -15

  2. Isolate 3y-3y by moving xx to the other side:
    3y=x15-3y = -x - 15

  3. Divide by 3-3 to solve for yy:
    y=13x+5y = \frac{1}{3}x + 5

Solution: y=13x+5y = \frac{1}{3}x + 5

Problem 9: 8x10y=208x - 10y = 20

  1. Start with the equation:
    8x10y=208x - 10y = 20

  2. Isolate 10y-10y by moving 8x8x to the other side:
    10y=8x+20-10y = -8x + 20

  3. Divide by 10-10 to solve for yy:
    y=45x2y = \frac{4}{5}x - 2

Solution: y=45x2y = \frac{4}{5}x - 2

Problem 10: 14x+6y=3614x + 6y = 36

  1. Start with the equation:
    14x+6y=3614x + 6y = 36

  2. Isolate 6y6y by moving 14x14x to the other side:
    6y=14x+366y = -14x + 36

  3. Divide by 66 to solve for yy:
    y=73x+6y = -\frac{7}{3}x + 6

Solution: y=73x+6y = -\frac{7}{3}x + 6
