Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.

y − 10 = –9(x + 9)

1 answer

To rewrite the equation \( y - 10 = -9(x + 9) \) in slope-intercept form (which is \( y = mx + b \)), we will follow these steps:

  1. Distribute the \(-9\) on the right side: \[ y - 10 = -9x - 81 \]

  2. Add \(10\) to both sides of the equation to solve for \(y\): \[ y = -9x - 81 + 10 \] \[ y = -9x - 71 \]

So, the equation in slope-intercept form is: \[ y = -9x - 71 \]
