To find the slope and y-intercept of the equation 9 + 272x = -32y, we need to rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b.
First, let's isolate the y term by subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation:
272x = -32y - 9
Next, divide both sides of the equation by -32 to solve for y:
y = -272/32x - 9/(-32)
Simplifying the equation gives us:
y = -17/2x + 9/32
Now we can identify the slope and y-intercept:
The slope is -17/2.
The y-intercept is (0, 9/32).
