The slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

Where

m represents slope

c represents y intercept

The given equation is

18x - 13y = 11

We would re-arrange the equation so that it takes the slope intercept form. It becomes

18x - 13y = 11

13y = 18x - 11

Dividing both sides of the equation by 13, it becomes

y = 18x/13 - 11/13

The equation in slope intercept form is

y = 18x/13 - 11/13
