Question

Write the following equations in slope intercept form

Equation 1: y-7x=6
Equation 2: y+7x=8

Answer 1

Find the value of b using the formula for the equation of a line. y = mx + b

Answer 2

Equation 1: y = 7x + 6

Equation 2: y = -7x + 8

Explanation:

Isolate the y variables in both equations

Equation 1:

y - 7x = 6

y = 7x + 6

Equation 2:

y + 7x = 8

y = -7x + 8

So, the equations in slope intercept form are:

Equation 1: y = 7x + 6

Equation 2: y = -7x + 8
