Make $y$ the subject of the formula.

Write an equation which has an $x$ -term, a $y$ -term and a number term so that $y$ is the subject of the formula.

The process would be to isolate the $y$ term on the left and then to divide each term by the numerical coefficient of $y$

As an example:

$3x color(blue)(+5y) = 20$

$color(blue)(5y) = -3x+20$

$y = -3/5x -20/5$

$y = -3/5x-4" "larr$ slope-intercept form#
