Question

Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form. 17x + 4y = -14 Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Answer 1

17x+4y = -14
Y= 0
17x = -14
X=-14/17

X=0
4y= -14
Y= -14/4

Answer 2

Answer:
y = $\frac{-17}{4} x$ - $\frac{7}{2}$

Explanation:
The slope-intercept form of an equation has the following formula:
y = mx + c
where:
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept

The given is:
17x + 4y = -14

To put this in slope-intercept form,we will need to isolate the y as follows:
17x + 4y = -14
4y = -17x - 14
y = (-17/4)x - (14/4)
y = $\frac{-17}{4} x$ - $\frac{7}{2}$
where:
m is the slope = -17/4
c is the y-intercept = -7/2

Hope this helps :)
