Question

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions. 3x+6y=-42

Answer 1

y = -1/2x + 7

Explanation:

3x + 6y = 42. Put everything except the y term on the right hand side, so subtract 3x from both sides.

6y = -3x + 42. You want 1y by itself, so divide everything by 6.

y = -1/2x + 7
