How do you change standard form to slope-intercept, and vice versa? I need someone to explain on an 8th grade level please! 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 = \"-3%2F4\"x + \"16%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"-3%2F4\"x + 4, is the slope intercept form
\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( "
\n" );
