: This is actually in preperation for a test on this chapter. I don't understand graphing and sloping real well. It's not the artithmatic that's the problem for me, it's remembering the formulas (step by step.
Here's an example:
Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line given by 4x-9y=15.
Can I get a step-by-step on how to solve this?
Thanx

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

Convert from standard form (Ax+By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx+b)

Start with the given equation

Subtract 4x from both sides

Simplify

Divide both sides by -9 to isolate y

Break up the fraction on the right hand side

Reduce and simplify

The original equation (standard form) is equivalent to (slope-intercept form)

The equation is in the form where is the slope and is the y intercept.
