We have to solve the equation.
[tex]x=-8y+9[/tex]We have 2 unknowns and one equation, so we can only express one in function of the other.
We already have x in function of y, so we will now express y in function of x:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=-8y+9 \\ x-9=-8y+9-9 \\ \frac{x-9}{-8}=\frac{-8y}{-8} \\ \\ -\frac{x}{8}+\frac{9}{8}=y \\ \\ y=-\frac{x}{8}+\frac{9}{8} \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer:
y = -x/8 + 9/8
