Write in y=mx+b Form 16x+3y=10

$16 x + 3 y = 10$

Step 1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 2

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

Subtract $16 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$3 y = 10 - 16 x$

Divide each term in $3 y = 10 - 16 x$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 y = 10 - 16 x$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{10}{3} + \frac{- 16 x}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{10}{3} + \frac{- 16 x}{3}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{10}{3} + \frac{- 16 x}{3}$

Simplify the right side.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = \frac{10}{3} - \frac{16 x}{3}$

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Reorder $\frac{10}{3}$ and $- \frac{16 x}{3}$ .

$y = - \frac{16 x}{3} + \frac{10}{3}$

Reorder terms.

$y = - (\frac{16}{3} x) + \frac{10}{3}$

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{16}{3} x + \frac{10}{3}$
