## anonymous one year ago Can someone help me work through this problem? Write the equation in slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y intercept? -2x-11y=5

1. ckallerid

Do you know how to solve for y? or should I explain it?

2. anonymous

Wouldn't I just have to get y on its own side? @ckallerid

3. ckallerid

yes

4. anonymous

So I got it to -11y=5+2x by adding 2x to each side @ckallerid

5. anonymous

Now divide each side by -11?

6. ckallerid

yes! it may seem weird but it should be like that.

7. anonymous

so... y=-.45-.18x

8. anonymous

Here is the attatchment of the problem @ckallerid

9. ckallerid

well it would be in fraction form which is $y=\frac{ 5 }{ -11 } + \frac{ 2 }{ -11 }x$

10. anonymous

I am pretty sure the answer is D, correct? because slope would be m and the y intercept would be b in y=mx+b

11. ckallerid

yes!

12. anonymous

Okay great! Thanks so much! @ckallerid

13. ckallerid

no problem :D

14. anonymous

Can you check this one please? (if you don't mind) @ckallerid I already have my answer chosen

16. anonymous

Just kidding it's D.

17. anonymous

not A, right?
