y=2x−79
; m=2, b=−79
y is equal to 2 x minus 7 ninths; m=2, b=−79

y=79x−2
; m=79, b=−2
y is equal to 7 ninths x minus 2; m=79, b=−2

y=79x+2
; m=79, b=2
y is equal to 7 ninths x plus 2; m=79, b=2

y=−2x−79
; m=−2, b=−79
y is equal to negative 2 x minus 7 ninths; m=−2, b=−79

Answer 1

To write the equation 18x−9y=7 in slope-intercept form, we need to solve for y.

First, let's isolate -9y by subtracting 18x from both sides of the equation:

-9y = -18x + 7

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by -9 to solve for y:

y = (18/9)x - (7/9)

Simplifying, we get:

y = 2x - 7/9

The slope of the line is 2 and the y-intercept is -7/9.

So, the correct answer is:

y=2x−79 ; m=2, b=−79
