Question

Find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form:

4x + 9y = 36

@TheSmartOne This one seems more tricky then the last one

Answer 1

it's less tricky than the last one

first we need to subtract 4x on both sides :D

Answer 2

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?

Answer 3

Or would it be reciprical?

Answer 4

hold on!

Answer 5

we need to subtract 4x on both sides

so we get:

9y = 36 - 4x

which is the same thing as

9y = -4x + 36

Answer 6

Oh so it would end of being A?

Answer 7

I forgot about the negative

Answer 8

you didn't give answer choices :P

Answer 9

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

Answer 10

that's correct :)
