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

Question

SHOW ALL WORK, SHOW THE STEPS THROUGH NUMBERS ! ...explain

Answer 1

 May, the goal to writing the equation in the slope and y-intercept form is

 

y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y-intercept

x=the independent variable

y=dependent variable

 

 4x-3y=-15

-4x       -4x

    -3y=-4x-15 Divide both sides of the equation by -3

       y=4/3*x+5

 

Hence, the slope is 4/3 and y-intercept is 5.

Answer 2

4x - 3y = - 15               Subtract 4x from both sides

-3y = -4x - 15               Divide both sides by -3

y = 4x/3 + 5

 

In the form y = mx + b, m = slope, and b = y-intercept

 

m = 4/3, y-intercept = 5
