Question

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all

fractions.
3x + 6y = -42

Answer 1

y = -1/2x -7

Explanation:

3x + 6y = -42

Slope intercept form is

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

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-3x+6y = -3x-42

6y = -3x-42

Divide each side by 6

6y/6 = -3x/6 - 42/6

y = -1/2x -7
