Question

Change 4x - 3y = -15 to slope-intercept form and state the slope and y-intercept. You must show all work.

Answer 1

Solve for y.

 

4x - 3y = -15,   first, subtract 4x from both sides...

-4x             -4x

______________

 

-3y = -4x - 15    Divide everything by what to isolate y?    then, your slope is the fraction in front of x and your y-intercept is the constant added or subtracted after the x term.
