Question

Write the equation in slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y-intercept?
-11x + 9y = -12
i know slope intercept is y=mx + b so would -12 be m?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

\[-11x+9y=12\] add \(11x\) to both sides gives
\[9y=11x-12\]

Answer 3

then divide both sides by \(9\) to get
\[y=\frac{11}{9}x-\frac{12}{9}\]or
\[y=\frac{11}{9}x-\frac{4}{3}\]

Answer 4

now you can read off the answer, because it looks like \(y=mx+b\)

Answer 5

this makes much more sense
