PLEASE HELP! Can someone please put these two equations into point-intercept form for me? I need to know the form to solve the problem, if someone could help me that would mean so much!

3x – 2y = 7
9x – 6y = 3

3x – 2y = 7
9x – 6y = 3

anonymous · Answer

y=mx+b is the form, where m = slope and b is the y-intercept

You'll want to solve each equation here for y = something

First move the x terms over (add/subtract to both sides)
Then get rid of the coefficients on y (multiply/divide to both sides)
Simplify into mx+b form

Make sense @chungerforever ?

anonymous · Answer

so like in the first one would I subtract 3?

anonymous · Answer

3x , yes :-)   (not just 3 alone)

Then once you have 7-3x over on the other side, divide by -2

anonymous · Answer

Same process for the second one
