Hey! Lotta points here! I need some help ASAP please. Thanks!

Change 6x+4y=700 into slope-intercept form and solve. Identify the slope and the y-intercept.
Then describe how to graph using the slope-intercept method.

Slope= -3/2 Y-intercept= 175 Start at point 175, graph that point, then go down 3 then right 2, graph that point, repeat a few times then connect points for the line

wow, lots of points, easy qeustion and nobody anwering

ok so

basically solve for y

6x+4y=700
minus 6x from both sides
4y=-6x+700
divide both sides by 4
y=-3/2x+175

ok so
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yintercept or where the line crosses the y axis

so
y=-3/2x+175
yintercept is 175 so go 175 units up on teh y axis and put a point there

slope is -3/2
slope=rise/run
go 3 units down and 2 units to the right from that first point you ploted
that is new point
connect the 2 points to get graph, or input a value for x and get a value for y to get a point

basically just find 2 differn points and connect them to graph

I have attached graph
