Question 93668: I was wondering if you could tell me whether these two questions are correct?
Find the slope and y-intercept: -9x - 8y = -64
I got Slope:m=9/8 and y-intercept b = -8 Is this correct?
Find the Slope: 7x + 2y = -11
I got Slope: m=7/2 Is this correct?
Thank you for your help.

"Find the slope and y-intercept: -9x - 8y = -64 "

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

Add 9x to both sides

Simplify

Divide both sides by -8 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.

"Find the slope and y-intercept: 7x + 2y = -11 "

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 7x from both sides

Simplify

Divide both sides by 2 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.

note: I notice that you have the right values, but you have the incorrect signs
