What is the slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept of the following line?
3x + 4y = 9
The slope intercept form of a line is: highlight%28y=mx%2Bb%29 where m=slope and (0,b)=y-intercept.
3x-3x%2B4y=-3x%2B9
4y=-3x%2B9
4y%2F4=-3x%2F4%2B9%2F4
y=%28-3%2F4%29x%2B9%2F4
y=highlight%28-3%2F4%29x%2B9%2F4 the slope, m=-3/4
y=%28-3%2F4%29x%2Bhighlight%289%2F4%29 the y-intercept, (0,b)=(0,9/4)
Happy Calculating!!!
