Math Problem Statement
Consider the following equation.
−3x+4y−19=0 Step 1 of 3 : Express the given equation in slope-intercept form. Simplify your answer.
Solution
To express the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to rearrange it into the form , where is the slope and is the y-intercept.
Step-by-step process:
-
Start with the original equation:
-
Move the term to the other side:
-
Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate :
Now, the equation is in slope-intercept form:
The slope is and the y-intercept is .
