Question

Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form. 17x + y = –19

Answer 1

Answer: y = 17x - 19

Explanation:

17x + y = -19

Subtract 17 on both sides

Y= -19 - 17x

Then put it in y= mx + b

Y= -17x - 19

Answer 2

y = -17x -19

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

17x+y = -19

Solve for y

y = -17x -19
