Solved by pluggable solver: Converting Linear Equations in Standard form to Slope-Intercept Form (and vice versa)
Convert from standard form (Ax+By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx+b)


9x%2B3y=-3 Start with the given equation


9x%2B3y-9x=-3-9x Subtract 9x from both sides


3y=-9x-3 Simplify


%283y%29%2F%283%29=%28-9x-3%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate y


y+=+%28-9x%29%2F%283%29%2B%28-3%29%2F%283%29 Break up the fraction on the right hand side


y+=+-3x-1 Reduce and simplify


The original equation 9x%2B3y=-3 (standard form) is equivalent to y+=+-3x-1 (slope-intercept form)


The equation y+=+-3x-1 is in the form y=mx%2Bb where m=-3 is the slope and b=-1 is the y intercept.
