Hello,
The Question isnt clear, if u have the whole real question what u have to find?
then i can elaborate more.
Do u want to convert it into slope intercept form right?
-3y = 3x -9
y = 3x/-3 - 9/-3
y = -x - 3 <------- slope intercept form.

-3y -3x = -9 <----- standard form
Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
Equation describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is .
  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. -9/-3 = 3.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is -9/-3 = 3.
  • Slope is --3/-3 = -1.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-1*x+3.



Hope u got the required answer.
Thanks,
