Question

What is the slope intercept from for 16x+9y=40

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = (- \frac{16}{9})x + \frac{40}{9}$is the slope intercept form for 16x+9y=40

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given equation is 16 x +  9 y = 40

Now, the slope intercept form of an equation is y = mx + c,

here m = slope of the equation,  b  =  y - intercept

So, now 16x +  9y = 40 on simplification gives

9y  = 40 - 16x

or $y = \frac{40 - 16x}{9} = \frac{40}{9} - \frac{16x}{9}$

or, $y = (- \frac{16}{9})x + \frac{40}{9}$is the slope intercept form of the given equation.

Here, m = (-16/9) and y- intercept = 40/9
