Put in slope intercept form

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

There is no expression given to "put into slope intercept form." Slope intercept form is:

y = mx + b,

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is zero).

If an equation is given, such as 3y - 2x + 3 = 9x:

3y - 2x + 3 = 9x

3y = 9x - ( - 2x + 3) [Subtract the term (-2x+3) from both sides of the equation.

3y = 9x + 2x - 3

3y = 11x - 3

y = -(11/3)x - 3 is in slope intercept form. This equation has a slope of -(11/3) and intercepts the y axis at -3 when x is 0.

See the attached graph.
