To put the equation 3x + 18y = -144 into slope-intercept form, we need to solve for y.
First, we need to isolate the term with y. We can start by subtracting 3x from both sides:
18y = -144 - 3x
Next, we simplify the right side of the equation:
18y = -3x - 144
To isolate y, we need to divide both sides by 18:
y = (-3/18)x - (144/18)
Simplifying the fraction:
y = -1/6x - 8
The equation in slope-intercept form is y = -1/6x - 8.
Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.
3x+18y=−144
