You have to solve for y.
In doing so, you will have converted the equation into the slope intercept form of y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
your equation is:
y + 15 = -(3/4)*(x-6)
simplify by removing parentheses to get:
y + 15 = (-3/4)*x + (18/4)
subtract 15 from both sides of the equation to get:
y = (-3/4)*x + (18/4) - 15
since 15 = 60/4, equation becomes:
y = (-3/4)*x + (18/4) - (60/4)
simplify by combining like terms to get:
y = (-3/4)*x - (42/4)
the equation is now in slope intercept form and can also be graphed.
graph of your equation looks like:
