Question

Rewrite the equation in slope=intercept form. 6x-3y=-9 .

Answer 1

I think the most useful form of straight-line equations is the "slope-intercept" form:

y = mx + b
In order to get the equation, 6x - 3y = -9 into that form, you'd have to get y on one side, right?
Okay, so in order to do that, you need to move the other integers to the other side of the equal sign.
6x-3y = -9
Let's first subtract the 3.
6x-y = -9 - 3 (= - 12)
Then let's subtract the 6x.
y = -12 - 6x.
Does that make sense and answer your question?

Answer 2

Yes it does . Can I have help on one more ?

Answer 3

Yeah, I'll try to help. What's the problem?

Answer 4

Sorry I'm just replying back. I didn't know that you replied back but anyway .
2x+5y=-10

Answer 5

Okay, so you want to get it into the form y = mx + b
So in this problem, you'd need to get "y" alone on one side of the equal sign.
2x + 5y = -10
First, you'd want to subtract 2x from both sides.
2x (-2x) + 5y = - 10 - 2x
You always want to put the variable first so, you'd switch the variables around to make..
5y = -2x - 10
Alright, and then you need to divide 5 from both sides.
5y (/5) = -2/5x - 10/5
Then it'd be
y = -2/5x - 2
Sorry, I typed that from the top of my head; I hope that made sense. I'll clarify if it doesn't.
