What would 2x + 3y = 1,470 be in slope intercept form and how do you get it

  • Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, with m = slope and b = y-intercept.

So firstly, subtract 2x on both sides of the equation:
3y=-2x+1470

Next, divide both sides by 3 and your final answer will be
y=-(2)/(3)x+490

slope intercept formula is y = mx + b.

Isolate the y. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, subtract 2x from both sides

2x (-2x) + 3y = (-2x) + 1470

3y = -2x + 1470

Isolate the y. Divide 3 from both sides

(3y)/3 = (-2x + 1470)/3

y = (-2x + 1470)/3

Simplify

y = (-2/3)x + 490

y = (-2/3)x + 490 is your answer

hope this helps
