Write the equation in the form y = mx + b.

Question

6x + 7y = 21

Answer 1

The equation is in standard form when it appears as 6x + 7y = 21

 

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b

 

You need to move the x term to the other side of the equation and solve for y

 

6x + 7y = 21

 

subtract 6x from both sides

 

7y = -6x + 21

 

divide by 7

 

y = -6x/7 + 3

Answer 2

Subtract 6x from both sides.

 

7y = -6x + 21

 

Divide both sides by 7.

 

y = (-6/7)x + 3

 

m = -6/7

b = 3
