Explain in your own words how to rewrite an equation (function) in slope-intercept form if the equation is presented to you in standard form. Provide an example.
Accepted Solution
A:
standard form : Ax + By = C slope intercept form : y = mx + b
example : 2x + 3y = 10....we want the 3y term by itself...so subtract 2x from both sides 3y = -2x + 10 .....now we have to divide both sides by 3 to get y alone y = (-2/3)x + 10/3 <== slope intercept form...u dont need the parenthesis in there, I was just showing u that I divided by 3
another one.. -4x + 5y = 9.....got to get 5y by itself....this time we add 4x 5y = 4x + 9...now divide both sides by 5 to get y alone y = 4/5x + 9/5
