Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form:
8x-10y=-9
Thank you.
slope-intercept form is y=mx+b
So, you need to get y on a side by itself.
Move the 8 to the right side of the equations, then divide by -10. This isolates the y. Simplify everything and then you're done.
So,
-10y=-9+8x?
You still need to divide everything by -10 to isolate the y

To rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form, which is in the form of y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.
Let's start by moving the term containing x to the other side of the equation:
8x - 10y = -9
Subtracting 8x from both sides, we obtain:
-10y = -8x - 9
To isolate y, we divide both sides by -10:
(-10y) / -10 = (-8x - 9) / -10
Simplifying, we get:
y = (8/10)x + 9/10
Since 8/10 can be simplified, we can write it as 4/5:
y = (4/5)x + 9/10
Therefore, the equation 8x - 10y = -9 can be rewritten in slope-intercept form as y = (4/5)x + 9/10.
