Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.
9, x, plus, 12, y, equals, minus, 108
9x+12y=
−108
To put the equation 9x + 12y = -108 into slope-intercept form, we need to solve for y.
Step 1: Move the 9x term to the right side of the equation by subtracting 9x from both sides:
12y = -9x - 108
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 12 to isolate y:
y = (-9/12)x - 108/12
Simplifying the fraction:
y = (-3/4)x - 9
