Question

I am stuck on a problem on my course, can someone help me with this please, thank you! :)

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.
3x + 15y= −60

Answer 1

y = -1/5x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + c

m = gradient

y = y-intercept

3x + 15y = -60

1. Take away 3x from both sides.

15y = -3x - 60

2. Divide by 15 from both sides.

y = -3/15x - 60/15

3. Simplify.

y = -1/5x - 4
