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 ( ).
The slope of the equation 9 + 272x = -32y can be found by rearranging the equation into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
First, isolate y in the equation:
-32y = 9 + 272x
Divide by -32:
y = -9/32 - 272x/32
y = -9/32 - 8.5x
The slope of the equation is -8.5.
To find the y-intercept, let x = 0:
y = -9/32 - 8.5(0)
y = -9/32
The y-intercept is the point (0, -9/32).
