To find the slope and y-intercept of the equation, we need to rewrite it in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Let's rewrite the equation:
9 + 272x = -32y
First, divide both sides by -32 to isolate y:
y = -272/32x - 9/32
The equation is now in slope-intercept form.
The slope is the coefficient of x, which is -272/32. Simplifying this fraction gives us -17/2.
The y-intercept is the constant term, which is -9/32.
Therefore, the slope is -17/2 and the y-intercept is (-9/32, 0).
What is the slope and the y-intercept of the equation 9+272x=−32y. Write the y-intercept as an ordered pair.(1 point)
