HELP!!! \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Change the following into the slope intercept form \n" ); document.write( "3x + 4y = 16 \n" ); document.write( "Subtract 3x from both sides, and you have: \n" ); document.write( "4y = -3x + 16 \n" ); document.write( "We want y to have a coefficient of +1, divide both sides by 4, results \n" ); document.write( "y = \n" ); document.write( "y = \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "To convert this to the standard form, get rid of the denominator \n" ); document.write( "multiply by 4 \n" ); document.write( "4y = -3x + 16 \n" ); document.write( "Add 3x to both sides \n" ); document.write( "3x + 4y = 16 \n" ); document.write( " |
