Question

rewrite the following equation in slope - intercept form.
6x - 17y = 19
write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the y-term

$6x - 17y = 19 \implies -17y = -6x + 19$

Step2: Solve for y (divide by -17)

$y = \frac{-6}{-17}x + \frac{19}{-17}$

Step3: Simplify fractions

$y = \frac{6}{17}x - \frac{19}{17}$

Answer:

$y = \frac{6}{17}x - \frac{19}{17}$
