Can someone help me work through this problem? Write the equation in slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y intercept? -2x-11y=5

OpenStudy (ckallerid):

Do you know how to solve for y? or should I explain it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wouldn't I just have to get y on its own side? @ckallerid

OpenStudy (ckallerid):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I got it to -11y=5+2x by adding 2x to each side @ckallerid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now divide each side by -11?

OpenStudy (ckallerid):

yes! it may seem weird but it should be like that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so... y=-.45-.18x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here is the attatchment of the problem @ckallerid

OpenStudy (ckallerid):

well it would be in fraction form which is \[y=\frac{ 5 }{ -11 } + \frac{ 2 }{ -11 }x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am pretty sure the answer is D, correct? because slope would be m and the y intercept would be b in y=mx+b

OpenStudy (ckallerid):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay great! Thanks so much! @ckallerid

OpenStudy (ckallerid):

no problem :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you check this one please? (if you don't mind) @ckallerid I already have my answer chosen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just kidding it's D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not A, right?
