Solving literal equation to rewrite in slope intercept form 3x - 5y=9 for y

The video tutorial explains how to solve a literal equation for the variable Y. It begins by introducing the concept and the importance of converting equations from standard form to slope-intercept form. The instructor demonstrates a technique of 'pinning' the Y variable and using inverse operations to isolate it. The process involves undoing addition and subtraction first, followed by division to solve the equation. The tutorial concludes with a step-by-step solution, emphasizing the importance of understanding inverse operations and the order of operations.
