So, you know what slope-intercept form looks like, correct?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

can i show you what i did so far?

anonymous · Answer

Of course.  That would be most helpful.

anonymous · Answer

-2y=-3x-9 and i divided them all by negative 2 so now it looks like this -2y/-2=-3/-2x-9/-2

anonymous · Answer

is this correct so far?

anonymous · Answer

I think you just made a typo, as the x goes wtih the -3, not on the -2.

anonymous · Answer

But yes, so far so good.

anonymous · Answer

and for the slope-intercept form i should get y=-2/3x-3 correct cause i just bring in the y-intercept as stated in the problem.

anonymous · Answer

That's correct!  Let's clean it up so it doesn't look like you are dividing the -2 by 3x.  Make it y=-2x/3 -3 instead.

okay lol sorry about that.

and thank you for your help.
