Question

Rewrite the equation in slope intercept form
3y - 8x = -9

Answer 1

y = (8/3)x - 3

Explanation:

To get to slope intercept, just solve for y

3y - 8x = -9

3y = -9 + 8x

y = (-9 + 8x)/3

y = -9/3 + 8x/3 (distribute the 3 so we can reach the right form)

y = -3 + 8/3(x)

finally write in slope intercept form:

y = (8/3)x - 3
