Q. Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.9x+3y=−18Answer:
Isolate y-term: Isolate the y-term on one side of the equation.To do this, we will subtract 9x from both sides of the equation 9x+3y=−18.Calculation: 3y=−9x−18
Divide by coefficient: Divide all terms by the coefficient of y to solve for y. The coefficient of y is 3, so we will divide each term by 3 to isolate y. Calculation: y=(−9x−18)/3
Simplify equation: Simplify the equation by dividing each term inside the parentheses by 3.Calculation: y=(3−9)x+(3−18)Simplification: y=−3x−6
