Question

How exactly can I change this to slope intercept method ? y - 5 = 2/3 ( x - 4 ) ?

Answer 1

y=2/3x+7/3

Answer 2

first you distribute the 2/3 to the x and -4 then your plus 5 on each side to get the final answer

Answer 3

I got that but wasn't sure if it was right because i have to graph this, i am not exactly sure how to graph that, so i thought i was wrong.

Answer 4

Does anybody know how i can graph that ?

Answer 5

slope intercept form is y = mx + b.
y - 5 = 2/3 (x - 4) First thing you have to do is get rid of the fraction.
You can do this by multiplying everything by 3.
(3) y - 5 = 2/3 (x - 4)
3y - 15 = 2 (x - 4) now multiply through the parenthesis
3y - 15 = 2x - 8 (You want 3y by itself so you add 15 to both sides)
3y - 15 + 15 = 2x - 8 + 15
3y = 2x - 8 + 15
3y = 2x + 7 (however you want y by itself so divide by 3)
3y/3 = 2x/3 + 7/3
y = 2/3x + 7/3

Answer 6

Thank you Soo much !! Hey, do you know exactly how to graph that though ? I am confused because
