How do you write 9x-5y=35 in slope intercept form? And what is it’s slope and y-intercept?

I somehow got y=1.8x+35, which I think is completely wrong. Can you help me with the steps you used also. Thanks so much!

The standard form I am familiar with is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. So for this equation, rewrite it as 5y = 9x – 35. Divide both sides by 5 to get y = 1.8x – 7. (You just forgot to divide the 35 by 5!). The slope is 1.8 and the y-intercept is -7 (actually 0,-7).

9x-5y=35

-5y=35-9x

y=9/5x-7

y=1.8x-7

You were almost there! It seems like you forgot to divide 35 with -5… that will give you -7.

For the slope and the y-intercept…

Slope intercept equations are written in this form

y=mx+c

m represents your gradient

c represents your y intercept

I think you can find out the answer from here

Good Luck!!!

Slope intercept form:

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

9x-5y=35

9x=35+5y

9x-35=5y

5y=9x-35

y = (9x-35)/5

y= (9/5)x – 35/5

y= 1.8x – 7

You were close!

C’mon kid, did you do a search on the forums first? I have seen close to a dozen problems like these solved in here.

5y = 9x-35

y = 9/5x – 7

slope is indeed 1.8, y intercept is -7

(You forgot to divide 35 by 5)

y=mx+b is slope intercept form

-5y=-9x+35 is your slope intercept form of this function

slope = m

thus your slope is -9 and the y-intercept is -5.
