\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "6x – 9y = –72
\n" ); document.write( "The slope intercept form is y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "So, we need to turn this to a slope intercept form.
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "6x-9y=-72
\n" ); document.write( "6x-6x-9y=-6x-72
\n" ); document.write( "0-9y=-6x-72
\n" ); document.write( "-9y=-6x-72
\n" ); document.write( "9y=6x+72
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%286x-72%29%2F9\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=6x%2F9-72%2F9\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=2x%2F3-8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%282%2F3%29x%2B%28-8%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "SO, m= $\"2%2F3\"$ and b=-8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the slope(m) is 2/3 and the y-intercept is -8\r
