Write the following inequality in slope-intercept form.

Question

15x+y>
–
18
Write your answer with y first, followed by an inequality symbol. Use integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Answer 1

To rewrite the inequality \( 15x + y > -18 \) in slope-intercept form (which is \( y > mx + b \)), we'll isolate \( y \).

Starting with the original inequality:

\[ 15x + y > -18 \]

Subtract \( 15x \) from both sides:

\[ y > -15x - 18 \]

Now, the inequality is in slope-intercept form. So, your answer is:

\[ y > -15x - 18 \]
