Question

rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.
10x + 18y = -9
write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the y-term

Subtract $10x$ from both sides.
$18y = -10x - 9$

Step2: Solve for y

Divide all terms by 18, simplify fractions.
$y = \frac{-10x - 9}{18} = -\frac{5}{9}x - \frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

$y = -\frac{5}{9}x - \frac{1}{2}$
