To find the slope and y-intercept of the equation 9+272x=−32y, we need to rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Starting with the given equation:
9 + 272x = -32y
Divide both sides by -32 to isolate y: (remember to flip the sign since we're dividing by a negative number)
(9 + 272x) / -32 = y
Simplify the right side:
y = -272x/32 - 9/32
Now we have the equation in slope-intercept form:
y = -8.5x - 0.28125
The slope is -8.5 and the y-intercept is (0, -0.28125).
