Explanation:
Recall that the slope-intercept form of a linear equation follows the general formula:
#color(blue)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)y=mx+bcolor(white)(a/a)|)))#
Given,
#5x-3y=-15#
Your goal is to isolate for
#5xcolor(white)(i)color(red)(-5x)-3y=color(red)(-5x)-15#
#-3y=-5x-15#
Divide both sides by
#color(red)((color(black)(-3y))/(-3))=color(red)(color(black)(-5x-15)/(-3))#
#color(green)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(y=5/3x+5)color(white)(a/a)|)))#
