put the following equation of a line into slope - intercept form, simplifying all fractions. 10x + 8y = 72
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Isolate the term with (y)
Subtract (10x) from both sides of the equation (10x + 8y=72). (8y=- 10x + 72)
Step2: Solve for (y)
Divide each term in the equation (8y=-10x + 72) by (8). (y=\frac{-10x}{8}+\frac{72}{8}) Simplify the fractions: (\frac{-10x}{8}=-\frac{5x}{4}) and (\frac{72}{8} = 9)
Answer:
(y =-\frac{5}{4}x + 9)
