Question

Started a new ixl and i have no idea how to do this

Answer 1

y = -
`(1)/(6)` x -
`(8)/(9)`

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c

Rearrange 3x + 18y = - 16 into this form

Subtract 3x from both sides

18y = - 3x - 16 ( divide all terms by 18 )

y = -
`(3)/(18)` x -
`(16)/(18)`, that is

y = -
`(1)/(6)` x -
`(8)/(9)` ← in slope- intercept form
