Question

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.

3y−9x=-6

Answer 1

3y-9x = -6

move -9x to the right side and change its sign

3y =9x-6

divide by 3

3y/3=9x/3 -6/3

y = 3x -2 in slope intercept form, slope =3 y intercept =-2

Answer 2

3y - 9x = -6

add 9x to both sides of the equation to get

3y = 9x - 6

divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get y by itself

y = 3x - 2 <-- slope intercept form
