Question

Change this standard form equation into slope intercept form. 4x-5y= -17

Answer 1

The slope-intercept form is

`y=mx+b`

We have

`4x-5y=-17​`

so we need to isolate the y

`-5y=-4x-17`
`y=(-4)/(-5)+(-17)/(-5)`

We simplify

`y=(4)/(5)x+(17)/(5)`

ANSWER

The equation in slope-intercept form is

`y=(4)/(5)x+(17)/(5)`
