Math Problem Statement

turn 3y-3x=9 to y=mx+b format

Solution

To convert the equation 3y3x=93y - 3x = 9 into the slope-intercept form, y=mx+by = mx + b, follow these steps:

  1. Isolate the yy term: Start by adding 3x3x to both sides of the equation: 3y=3x+93y = 3x + 9

  2. Solve for yy by dividing every term by 3: y=3x3+93y = \frac{3x}{3} + \frac{9}{3} Simplifying the fractions gives: y=x+3y = x + 3

So, the equation in slope-intercept form is y=x+3y = x + 3, where:

  • The slope m=1m = 1,
  • The y-intercept b=3b = 3.
