Question 250070
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:


{{{graph(600,600,-20,20,-20,20,(-3/4)*x - (42/4))}}}
