Question

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

Answer 1

\[y = mx + b\]

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.

Answer 2

ok

Answer 3

1st solve for y

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

alright

Answer 8

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)

Answer 9

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

Answer 10

Actually you could just subtract 13 :)

Answer 11

the slope is 2

Answer 12

So then you would have y=2x-13

Answer 13

then divide by 9 to get y by itself

Answer 14

ok

Answer 15

So does that make sense? :)

Answer 16

What happens to the 9y

Answer 17

somewhat

Answer 18

did i do it right @Kit_Kat_Nat_<3
