Question

Find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form:
 
    4x + 9y = 36

@TheSmartOne This one seems more tricky then the last one

thesmartone · Answer

it's less tricky than the last one

first we need to subtract 4x on both sides :D

anonymous · Answer

Okay thats what I thought was the first step. It would then be 9y = 36 + 4x or 9y = 4x + 36 then we would divide nine on both sides! Then it would be y = 4/9x + 4 right?

Or would it be reciprical?

thesmartone · Answer

hold on!

thesmartone · Answer

we need to subtract 4x on both sides

so we get:

9y = 36 - 4x

which  is the same thing as

9y = -4x + 36

Oh so it would end of being A?

anonymous · Answer

I forgot about the negative

thesmartone · Answer

you didn't give answer choices :P

anonymous · Answer

Oppps well answer A is y = -4/9x + 4

thesmartone · Answer

that's correct :)
