Question

Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.

x − 11y = 14


Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Answer 1

y = 1/11x -14/11

Explanation:

You want the equation x -11y = 14 written in slope-intercept form.

Solve for y

Slope-intercept form looks like ...

y = mx +b

Essentially, we solve for y. To do that, we can subtract x, then divide by the coefficient of y.

x -11y = 14 . . . . . . . given

-11y = -x +14 . . . . . . subtract x

y = 1/11x -14/11 . . . . . divide by -11
