Answer:

1. y = 3x - 5

2. y = -4x + 2

3. y = -3x - 4

4. y = -3x - 6

Explanation:

These questions are pretty easy. The only thing you have to do, to turn the equation into slope intercept form, is to solve for y in each equation

All the equations are in standard form, and we need to rewrite them in slope intercept form, so here are the steps

For the first equation: -3y + 9x = 15

We solve for y in the equation

-3y + 9x = 15

1. Subtract 9x from each side to isolate y

-3y + 9x - 9x = 15 - 9x

2. Simplify

-3y = 15 - 9x

3. Divide each term by -3 to get y by itself.

-3y/-3 = 15/-3 -9x/-3

4. Simplify

y = 3x - 5

For the second equation, we do the same proces, we just solve for y
−4x − y + 2 = 0

Step 1: Add 4x to both sides.

−4x − y + 2 + 4x = 0 + 4x

−y + 2 = 4x

Step 2: Subtract 2 to both sides.

−y + 2 − 2 = 4x − 2

−y = 4x − 2

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1

-y/-1 = 4x/-1 -2/-1

y = -4x + 2

For the third equation, we do the same thing too

2y + 6x = -8

Step 1: Subtract 6x to both sides.

6x + 2y − 6x = −8 − 6x

Switch -8 and -6x

2y = −6x − 8

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

2y/2 = -6x/2 -8/2

y = -3x - 4

And for the last equation, we do the same thing we did in the second equation

-6 - 3x - y = 0

Step 1: Add 3x to both sides.

−3x − y − 6 + 3x = 0 + 3x

−y − 6 = 3x

Step 2: Add 6 to both sides.

−y − 6 + 6 = 3x + 6

−y = 3x + 6

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

-y/-1 = 3x/-1 + 6/-1

y = -3x - 6
