Write the following inequality in slope-intercept form.

17x+y<2
Write your answer with y first, followed by an inequality symbol. Use integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

1 answer

To write the inequality \( 17x + y < 2 \) in slope-intercept form (which is \( y < mx + b \)), we follow these steps:

  1. Isolate \( y \) on one side of the inequality.

    \[ y < 2 - 17x \]

  2. Rearrange the terms to fit the slope-intercept format:

    \[ y < -17x + 2 \]

Thus, the inequality in slope-intercept form is:

\[ y < -17x + 2 \]
