Q:

2x + 3y = 1,470 Change the equation to slope-intercept form. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation. Be sure to show all your work.

Accepted Solution

A:
2x + 3y = 1470 ...subtract 2x from both sides
3y = -2x + 1470 ...divide both sides by 3
y = -2/3x + 490

In y = mx + b form (slope intercept form), the slope will be in the m position and the y int will be in the b position

y = -2/3x + 490
y = mx + b

as u can see, the number in the m position (the slope) = -2/3
and the number in the b position (the y int) = 490 or (0,490)
