2x = 9y + 13 What is the slope? What is the y-intercept?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y = mx + b\] This is the form you are looking for which by a little bit of algebraic manipulation you can get to. Where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

1st solve for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So to start off we can begin to isolate the y term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you need to do something to his equation to make it y=mx+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x = 9y + 13 is your equation right now, so what can you do to get y on one side and mx+b on the other side? (hint: the number in front of x is the slope and b=y intercept)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do I need to divide by something to get y by itself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually you could just subtract 13 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope is 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So then you would have y=2x-13

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

then divide by 9 to get y by itself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So does that make sense? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What happens to the 9y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

somewhat
