Algebra.Com's Answer #436316 by nerdybill(7384)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Slope-intercept form is: \n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b \n" ); document.write( "where \n" ); document.write( "m is the slope \n" ); document.write( "b is the y-intercept \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "3x+5y=45 \n" ); document.write( "subtracting 3x from both sides: \n" ); document.write( "5y = -3x+ 45 \n" ); document.write( "dividing both sides by 3: \n" ); document.write( "y = (-3x+ 45)/5 \n" ); document.write( "y = (-3/5)x + 9 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
