Question

4x+9y=-36

Answer 1

what is your question?

Answer 2

I have to find teh equation in slope form

Answer 3

point-slope form?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

no in slope intercept sorry

Answer 6

Ok in order to write this equation in slope intercept form you must isolate the y-variable

Answer 7

ok then what?

Answer 8

That's it

Answer 9

so how do I do that?

Answer 10

What do you think you need to do in order to get the y-variable alone on one side of the equals sign

Answer 11

And just for reference: y = mx + b

This is called the slope-intercept form because "m" is the slope and "b" gives the y-intercept.

Answer 12

Yes I know that but I'm confused on the whole problem

Answer 13

Start by rearranging it into the form: \(\sf \color{red}{y = mx +b}\), where
\(\sf \color{blue}{m}\) = slope
\(\sf \color{orange}{b }\) = y-coordinate shift value.

Answer 14

so how do I do that just plug in?

Answer 15

You rearrange the equation you were given.

Answer 16

How??

Answer 17

subtract by 4x, and divide by 9

Answer 18

ok but I have to put this in a slope intercept equation

Answer 19

Yes, that's what you're doing. Rearranging it to look like that!!!

Answer 20

So is it y=-4/9x-4?

Answer 21

Yep

Answer 22

Ok thanks do you mind helping me with another one?
