Math Problem Statement

Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.

4x − 19y = 1

Solution

To rewrite the equation 4x19y=14x - 19y = 1 in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept, follow these steps:

  1. Start with the original equation: 4x19y=14x - 19y = 1

  2. Isolate yy on one side. First, subtract 4x4x from both sides: 19y=4x+1-19y = -4x + 1

  3. Now, divide every term by 19-19 to solve for yy: y=419x119y = \frac{4}{19}x - \frac{1}{19}

So, the slope-intercept form of the equation is: y=419x119y = \frac{4}{19}x - \frac{1}{19}
