Question

Select the equation of the line in slope-intercept form: 

4x – 9y = –36 Can someone help me solve this? :)

anonymous · Answer

ok slope intercept form is y=mx+b
have you seen this before?

anonymous · Answer

4x – 9y = –36
9y=4x + 36
y=4x/9 + 36/9
y=4x/9 + 4

anonymous · Answer

Yes. I just don't know how to plug MY equation in with that equation. T_T

anonymous · Answer

you want to isolate your y variable. to do that you need to subtract 4x from both sides of the equation. you would then have:

-9y=-4x-36

next you need to divide both sides by -9 and this would be your final answer in slope intercept form y=mx+b

$$y=\frac{ 4 }{ 9 }x+4$$
