Question

write the following inequality in slope-intercept form.
6x - y > 16
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 $6x$ from both sides.
$6x - y - 6x > 16 - 6x$
$-y > -6x + 16$

Step2: Solve for y (reverse inequality)

Multiply both sides by $-1$, flip the inequality sign.
$(-1)(-y) < (-1)(-6x + 16)$
$y < 6x - 16$

Answer:

$y < 6x - 16$
