\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"9x-y=5\"$ Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"-y=5-9x\"$ Subtract $\"9x\"$ from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"-y=-9x%2B5\"$ Rearrange the terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%28-9x%2B5%29%2F%28-1%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"-1\"$ to isolate y.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%28%28-9%29%2F%28-1%29%29x%2B%285%29%2F%28-1%29\"$ Break up the fraction.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=9x-5\"$ Reduce.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the equation $\"y=9x-5\"$ is now in slope intercept form $\"y=mx%2Bb\"$ where the slope is $\"m=9\"$ and the y-intercept is $\"b=-5\"$ note: the y-intercept is the point
