Question

49x - 21y = -1,470

put in slope intercept form

Answer 1

Slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

What we are given:

49x - 21y = -1,470

we need to keep y on the left side so we subtract 49x from both sides;

-49x -49x

-21y = -49x - 1,470

we need to make y one so we divide by -21 from both sides;

÷-21 ÷-21

y = -49x/-21 - 70

which simplifies to

y = 7x/3 - 70
