Q. Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.3x+9y=−36Answer:
Move x term: To convert the equation into slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, we need to solve for y. Let's start by moving the term involving x to the other side of the equation.Calculation: Subtract 3x from both sides to isolate the terms with y on one side.3x+9y−3x=−36−3xThis simplifies to:9y=−3x−36
Isolate y terms: Now, we need to solve for y by dividing all terms by the coefficient of y, which is 9.Calculation: Divide each term by 9.99y=9−3x−936This simplifies to:y=(−31)x−4
