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: 4/3

y-intercept: 11/9

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: 11/9

y-intercept: -4/3

Answer 1

Slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Rearrange -11x + 9y = -12 to look like y = mx + b.
That is, isolate y on the left side and take everything else to the right. Simplify.
Identify m and b.
