Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions. 4x – 24y = 72​

Sagot :

4x - 24y = 72

First subtract 4x from each side

-24y = -4x + 72

Divide each side by -24 so y is by itself

y = -4/-24x + 72/-24

To simplify -4/-24, the greatest common factor they have is -4, so divide the numerator and denominator by -4

y = 1/6x + 72/-24

To simplify 72/-24, the greatest common factor is 24, so divide the numerator and denominator by 24

y = 1/6x - 3

This is now in slope intercept form
