Question

2x-3y=9 in slope intercept form?

Answer 1

2x-3y=9

The slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+b

So, isolate the y.

Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides.

-3y=9-2x

-3y=-2x+9

Step 2: Divide by (-3).

y=(-2/-3)x+(9/-3)

y=(2/3)x-3

Step 3: Identify the slope and y-intercept.

y=mx+b

m=2/3

b=-3

Answer 3

Slope-intercept form is this: y = mx + b

We can rearrange the equation so that it's in y = mx + b form which is the slope-intercept form.

2x - 3y = 9
- 3y = -2x + 9 <-- Here I brought 2x over to the other side.
y = (-2x + 9)/-3 <-- Here I divided both sides by -3 so y is left alone.
y = 2/3x - 3 <-- Here, I divided the components of the bracket by -3 to get 2/3x and -3 and we have achieved our slope-intercept form.
