Explanation:

Slope-Intercept form is Y = mx + b

So we have to turn 9x + 3y = -9 into that.

A ideal first step would be subtracting 9x on both sides, that would make it

3y = -9x-9

Next step would be dividing by 3 on both sides. This can get the y all alone


y = ( - 9x - 9)/(3)

Since the denominator is below multiple numbers, we can separate it as so


y = ( - 9x)/(3) - (9)/(3)

Simplifying 9/3 goes to 3/1. 3/1 is the same as 3, because any number over 1 is that number. Doing that to both will get our answer.


y = - 3x - 3
