Question

Rewrite the following equation and slope-intercept form.18x+17y=16Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Answer 1

To write this equation in slope-intercept form, you have to solve it for y

`18x+17y=16`

First pass the x term to the right side of the equation

`17y=16-18x`

Next divide it by 17

`\begin{gathered} (17y)/(17)=(16)/(17)-(18x)/(17) \\ y=(16)/(17)-(18)/(17)x \end{gathered}`
