B) $y = \frac { 9 } { 5 } x + \frac { 9 } { 37 }$
C) $y = \frac { 5 } { 9 } x + \frac { 37 } { 9 }$
D) $y = - \frac { 9 } { 5 } x + \frac { 9 } { 37 }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert the given equation $5x + 9y = 37$ to slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$, solve for $y$: $9y = -5x + 37$, then $y = -\frac{5}{9}x + \frac{37}{9}$.

Write the Equation in Slope-Intercept Form 5x+9y=375 x + 9 y = 375x+9y=37
