Question

Write the following equation in slope intercept:
2x + 3y = 12

Answer 1

Y = mx + b

2x + 3y = 12

3y = -2x + 12

y = -2/3 + 4

Answer 2

y = -2/3x +4

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

2x+3y = 12

We need to solve for y

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-2x+3y = -2x+12

3y = -2x+12

Divide by 3

3y/3 = -2/3 x +12/3

y = -2/3x +4
