Question

rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.

13x + 3y = -1

write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the y-term

Subtract \(13x\) from both sides of the equation \(13x + 3y=-1\).
We get \(3y=-13x - 1\).

Step2: Solve for y

Divide every term in the equation \(3y=-13x - 1\) by 3.
So \(y =-\frac{13}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}\).

Answer:

\(y = -\dfrac{13}{3}x - \dfrac{1}{3}\)
