36:21 in simplest form is 12:7, because 3 goes into both 36 and 21. Simplifying ratios is essentially the same thing as simplifying fractions. Once we have 12:7, we can't reduce any further, because 7 is prime.
Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
given
3x + y = 9
Writing In slope intercept form , y = mx + c
y = -3x + 9
comparing the given equation with y = mx + c
slope (m) = - 3
y-intercept (c) = 9
Hope it will help :)
