Question

Is anyone good at slope intercept form? I have two equations that I need help converting and I already know a little bit I just have some trouble. Thanks

Answer 1

slope intercept form- y=mx+b

Answer 2

equation 1: 5x+y=9

Answer 3

Equation 2: 3x+2y=4

Answer 4

ok so, how do you bring you 5x to the other side?

Answer 5

how do you undo the addition of 5x?

Answer 6

do I subtract 5 from 5 and 9?

Answer 7

not quite, you have \(5\color\red{x}\) not 5,

Answer 8

so how do I do it then?

Answer 9

I'm not sure what to subtract first

Answer 10

por que no los dos?

Answer 11

if you just had x+y=2, how would you move the x to the other side?

Answer 12

oh ok so if I subtract 5x from both sides I am left with y=9-5x?

Answer 13

yep

Answer 14

ok then do I divide both sides by 9?

Answer 15

??

Answer 16

no why would you? you are done

Answer 17

oh ok

Answer 18

and for equation B?

Answer 19

you can rearrange if you want

Answer 20

B is the same idea

Answer 21

ok

Answer 22

thank you

Answer 23

actually, rearrange so you have exactly y=mx+b style currently you have y=b-mx

Answer 24

so what is another way to write subtraction?
