What is the slope and the y-intercept of the equation 9+272x=−32y. Write the y-intercept as an ordered pair. The slope is □ . The y-intercept is ( □ ).
To find the slope and y-intercept of the equation, we first need to rewrite it in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
9 + 272x = -32y
Divide by -32 to isolate y:
y = (-272/32)x - (9/32)
Simplify:
y = -8.5x - 0.28125
Since the equation is now in slope-intercept form, we can see that the slope (m) is -8.5 and the y-intercept (b) is -0.28125. The y-intercept as an ordered pair is (0, -0.28125).
Therefore, the slope is -8.5 and the y-intercept is (0, -0.28125).
