Answer:


y=-(17)/(11)x+(17)/(11)

Explanation:

Rewrite the equation into y=mx+b form by rearranging terms using inverse operations.

17x + 11y = 17 Subtract 17x from both sides.

-17x -17x

---------------------------

11y = 17 - 17x Divide by 11 on both sides.

y = 17/11 - 17/11 x

The slope intercept form is
y=-(17)/(11)x+(17)/(11).
