Exercise 41 Page 313

Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.

Slope: 9
y-intercept: - 15

Practice makes perfect
Let's recall the slope-intercept form of a line. y= mx+ bHere, m represents the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. Let's rewrite the given equation in slope-intercept form. To do so, we have to isolate y by using inverse operations and Properties of Equality.
- 2y=6(5-3x)
â–Ľ
Write in slope-intercept form
- 2y=6(5)-6(3x)
- 2y=30-18x
y=30-18x/- 2
y=30/- 2-18x/- 2
y=- 30/2-18x/- 2
y=- 30/2-18/- 2x
y=- 30/2+18/2x
y=- 15+9x
y=9x-15
We rewrote the given equation in slope-intercept form. y=9x-15 ⇔ y= 9x+( - 15) We can see that the slope is 9 and the y-intercept is - 15.
