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

Have you tried solving for 'y'?

Answer 2

the equation of a line (generally) is as follows: y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Answer 3

can you explain better i really dont understand

Answer 4

Okay, so basically you want to get whatever equation you have into something that has y= some function of x. do you agree?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

okay good, so now you solve for y in the equation that was given to you; which was -11x + 9y = -12

Answer 7

so you want to get y by itself

Answer 8

dont know what i did but i got -1.2x+1.3=y.........

Answer 9

your numbers are right (but try leaving it in fraction form), however your signs are off

Answer 10

would 1.3 be negative and 1.2 be positive

Answer 11

correct. so your answer should be: y=11/9x - 4/3

Answer 12

thank you:)

Answer 13

no problem! :) and thanks for the medal!

Answer 14

no problem
