Question

write the following inequality in slope - intercept form.
20x + 9y < - 7
write your answer with y first, followed by an inequality symbol. use integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the y-term

Subtract $20x$ from both sides.
$9y < -20x -7$

Step2: Solve for y

Divide all terms by 9.
$y < -\frac{20}{9}x - \frac{7}{9}$

Answer:

$y < -\frac{20}{9}x - \frac{7}{9}$
