Explanation:
Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form. 8x + 13y = -9 Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.
Slope intercept form mean to solve for y:
8x + 13y = - 9
subtract 8x from both sides:
8x + 13y - 8x = - 9 - 8x
13y = - 9 - 8x
rearrange right side:
13y = - 9 - 8x becomes:
13y = - 8x - 9
divide both sides by 13:
13y/13 = (- 8x - 9)/13
Answer: y =
