Question

Write the equation in slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y-intercept?

-11x + 9y = -12


A. y = 11/9x - 4/3

slope: 11/9

y-intercept: 4/3

B. y = -11/9x + 4/3

slope: 11/9

y-intercept: 4/3

C. y = 11/9x - 4/3

slope: 11/9

y-intercept: -4/3

D. y = 11/9x + 4/3

slope: 4/3

y-intercept: 11/9

Answer 1

First step:

rewriting -11x + 9y = -12

9y = 11x - 12 (getting the "x" term over to the right)

y = (11/9)x - 4/3 (diving both sides by 9)

Second step:

slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b

so, matching up, we have: (11/9) for slope
and -4/3 for the intercept
Answer is "c"
