Question
What is the slope and the y -intercept of the equation 9+272x=−32y . Write the y -intercept as an ordered pair.(1 point)
The slope is
. The y-intercept is (
).
To find the slope and y-intercept, we need to rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Given equation: 9 + 272x = -32y
Divide by -32: (9 + 272x)/(-32) = y
y = -8.5 - 8.5x
So, the slope is -8.5 and the y-intercept as an ordered pair is (0, -8.5).
thats wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.
Given equation: 9 + 272x = -32y
First, we need to isolate y to rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).
-32y = 9 + 272x
y = -(9/32) - (272/32)x
y = -(9/32) - (17/4)x
Now we can see that the slope is -(17/4) and the y-intercept as an ordered pair is (0, -(9/32)).
