EXPLANATION

y=mx + b is the slope intercept form of a line where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Convert to slope-intercept form:

10x - 9y = 14

Subtract 10x from both sides:

10x -9y -10x =14 -10x

Simplify:

-9y = 14 -10x

Divide both sides by -9:

-9y/-9 = 14/-9 -10x/-9

Simplify:

y = 10x/9 - 14/9

For a line in the form of y=mx + b, the slope is m and y-intercept is b.

y = 10x/9 - 14/9
