Question

Put the following in slope intercept form 4x - 3y = 15

Answer 1

slope intercept form: y = mx + b

Note the equal sign. what you do to one side, you do to the other. First, subtract 4x from both sides

4x - 3y = 15

4x (-4x) - 3y = 15 (-4x)

-3y = -4x + 15

Next, divide -3 from both sides to isolate the y.

(-3y)/-3 = (-4x + 15)/-3

y = (4/3)x - 5

y = (4/3)x - 5 is your answer

hope this helps
