To convert the equation 5x - 3y = -9 into
slope-intercept form (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 solve for y:
5x - 3y = -9
First, subtract 5x from both sides:
-3y = -5x - 9
Next, divide both sides by -3:
Therefore, the equation 5x - 3y = -9 can be
written in slope-intercept form as
