Slope intercept form of 12x-y=4

Hey there! :)

Please keep in mind that slope-intercept form is : y=mx+b ; where m=slope, b=y-intercept

Using this, we can isolate y in our original given equation.

12x - y = 4

Start off by subtracting 12x from both sides.

-y = -12x + 4

Divide both sides by -1.

-y ÷ -1 = (-12x + 4) ÷ -1

Simplify!

y = 12x - 4

Therefore, using the slope-intercept form, we can come to the conclusion that because 12 is located in the "m" slot and "m=slope" then 12 is our slope. In addition, -4 is our y-intercept because it is located on the y position.

Slope = 12

Y-intercept = -4

Hope I helped! :)
