Solved by pluggable solver: Converting Linear Equations in Standard form to Slope-Intercept Form (and vice versa)


4%2Ax-10%2Ay=11Start with the given equation



-10%2Ay=11-4%2Ax Subtract 4%2Ax from both sides

y=%28-1%2F10%29%2811-4%2Ax%29 Multiply both sides by -1%2F10

y=%28-1%2F10%29%2811%29%2B%281%2F10%29%284%29x%29 Distribute -1%2F10

y=-11%2F10%2B%284%2F10%29x Multiply

y=%284%2F10%29%2Ax-11%2F10 Rearrange the terms

y=%282%2F5%29%2Ax-11%2F10 Reduce any fractions

So the equation is now in slope-intercept form (y=mx%2Bb) where m=2%2F5 (the slope) and b=-11%2F10 (the y-intercept)
