Question

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all

fractions.

18y – 3.x = -90

Answer 1

The equation of the line in slope-intercept formula is
`y = (x)/(6) - 5`

Explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line, in slope-intercept formula, is given by:

`y = mx + b`

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept(value of x when y = 0).

In this question:

`18y - 3x = -90`

Isolating y:

`18y = 3x - 90`

`y = (3x)/(18) - (90)/(18)`

Simplifying the fractions:

`y = (x)/(6) - 5`

The equation of the line in slope-intercept formula is
`y = (x)/(6) - 5`
