Question

rewrite the following equation in slope - intercept form. 13x + 9y = -2 write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the y-term

Subtract $13x$ from both sides.
$13x + 9y - 13x = -2 - 13x$
$9y = -13x - 2$

Step2: Solve for y

Divide all terms by 9.
$\frac{9y}{9} = \frac{-13x}{9} - \frac{2}{9}$

Answer:

$y = -\frac{13}{9}x - \frac{2}{9}$
