into slope-intercept form\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the answer is to solve the equation for

in terms of everything else. That means do whatever is necessary to rearrange the equation so that

is all by itself on the LHS of the equation and everything else is on the RHS.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For your example, one step does it. Just add

to both sides.\r
