Math Problem Statement

9x - 5y = 10

Solution

The equation you provided is a linear equation in two variables, xx and yy. To solve for one variable in terms of the other, we can rearrange the equation. Here’s how we can do it for yy:

Given: 9x5y=109x - 5y = 10

Solve for yy:

  1. Start by isolating 5y5y: 9x10=5y9x - 10 = 5y

  2. Divide both sides by 5: y=9x105y = \frac{9x - 10}{5}

This is the equation of a straight line in slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept.

Would you like more details or a step-by-step explanation?

Here are five related questions:

  1. How do we find the slope of a linear equation?
  2. What is the graph of this equation?
  3. How can we solve for xx instead of yy?
  4. What happens if you substitute a specific value for xx?
  5. How can you write this equation in standard form?

Tip: Linear equations can always be graphed as straight lines, where the slope defines the steepness.
