Let’s isolate y using inverse operations to convert this into slope intercept form. Choose the equivalent one after that!
D. The greatest a can be is 9 and the greatest b can be is 4. a+b= 13 which is less than 20
y= mx+b
(16, -7) = (x,y)
2(16) - 3y = 12
32 - 3y = 12
32 - 12 = 3y
20/3 = y
6.6 = y
2x-3(-7) = 12
2x+21 = 12
2x = 12 - 21
x = -9/2
Insert the values into y = mx + b
solve for m and then solve for b
