You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Here's the original equation:
0.05x+-+0.03y+=+9
In general this looks like:
Ax+%2B+By+=+C
Notice that A = .05, B = -.03, and C = 9
So, using the formulas above, we get
m = -A/B = -(.05)/(-.03) = 5/3
b = C/B = 9/(-.03) = -300

i need help with this
0.05x - 0.03y =9
I need to find m and b
the formulas are:
m=-A/B
b=C/B
------------------
A = 0.05
B = -0.03
C = 9
---
m = -A/B = -0.05/-0.03 = (5/3)
---
b = C/B = 9/-0.03 = -300
