Close.
In y-intercept form, the y should be alone.
Step One: Write the Equation
2x+5Y = 15
Step Two: Get "Y" Alone
2x+5Y = 15
-2x = -2x
5Y = -2X+15
5Y/5 = -2X/5 +15/5
Step Three: Get Answer
Y = -2/5X + 3

No, because you have to:
2x+5y=15 (Subtract 2x from both sides)
5y=-2x+15 (Divide both sides by 5, to isolate the y)
y=-2/5x+3
Hope this helped!

no
2x+5y=15
5y=-2x+15
y=-2/5x+3
for it to be slope intercept form you have to getr the y by itself

no it would be y=2/5x+3 you have to divide by 5 so there is no number in front of the y.
