SOLUTION: Trying to change the following equation into slope intercept form.
3/4x-3y=-5
I first moved the 3/4 x to the other side to get
-3y=-3/4x-5
I am just wondering how you then

Question 703807: Trying to change the following equation into slope intercept form.
3/4x-3y=-5
I first moved the 3/4 x to the other side to get
-3y=-3/4x-5
I am just wondering how you then get the y by itself? I would divide by -3 but how do I divide -3/4 by -3?
Or, do I need to get rid of the fraction to start off? If so, how do I do that?
Thanks

--------------
(-3/4)/(-3) = 1/4
----
--> y = (1/4)x + 5/3

Trying to change the following equation into slope intercept form.
3/4x-3y=-5
-----
Since you want y to be positive, add 3y to both sides to get:
3y = (3/4)x + 5
----
Divide thru by 3 to get:
y = (1/4)x + (5/3)
======
That is the slope-intercept form.
