Question

Place the following linear equation in slope intercept form: 6x - 4y = 9

Answer 1

y = (3/2)x - 9/4

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is

y = mx + b

------------------

6x - 4y = 9

subtract 6x from both sides

-4y = -6x + 9

Divide both sides by -4

y = (3/2)x - 9/4

Answer 2

y = 3/2 x - 9/4

Explanation:

bring all the y's to one side.

4y = 6x-9

divide by 4 to isolate the y

y = 6/4x - 9/4

simplify

y = 3/2 x - 9/4
