Question

rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.
$x + 16y = -3$
write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the y-term

Subtract $x$ from both sides.
$16y = -x - 3$

Step2: Solve for y

Divide all terms by 16.
$y = \frac{-x}{16} - \frac{3}{16}$

Answer:

$y = -\frac{1}{16}x - \frac{3}{16}$
