Question

Rewrite the following equation in slope intercept form9x -20y = 8Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Answer 1

y = 9x/20 - 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: 9x -20y = 8

First we rewrite the equation by making y stand alone

-20y = -9x + 8

The slope intercept form is in the form:

y = mx + c

This means the coefficient of y needs to be 1

We divide both sides of the given equation by -20 to get coefficient of y as 1:

-20y/-20 = -9x/-20 + 8/-20

Division of same sign gives positive number. Division of opposite signs give negative number.

y = 9x/20 - 8/20

In simplest form, the slope-intercept form:

y = 9x/20 - 2/5
