Write the linear equation in slope-intercept form: 5x - y = -17 a: y = -5x + 17 b: x = -1/5y - 17/5 c: y = 5x - 17 d: -5x - 17

none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

d is not an equation.

5x - y = -17

5x + 17 = y

y = 5x + 17 which is not listed.

Or if y is dependent variable,

x = y/5 -17/5 which is also not listed.

step-by-step explanation:

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
