Question

Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
6x + 9y = 27

Answer 1

y=-2/3x+3

Explanation:

First subtract 6x from both sides and make it 9y=-6x+27

Secondly, divide both sides by 9 making the equation y=-2/3x+3

Answer 2

y = -2/3x + 3

Standard Form: Ax + By = C

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope
• b - y-intercept

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[SF] 6x + 9y = 27

Step 2: Rewrite

Find slope-intercept form.

1. Subtract 6x on both sides: 9y = -6x + 27
2. Divide 9 on both sides: y = -2/3x + 3
