Question

What is 12x - 4y = -8 written in slope-intercept form?

y = 3x+2
y= 3x-2
y = 12x-8
y=-12X-8

Answer 1

y = 3x + 2

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 12x - 4y = - 8 into this form

Subtract 12x from both sides

- 4y = - 12x - 8 ( divide all terms by - 4 )

y = 3x + 2 ← in slope- intercept form

Answer 2

Hey there!

Isolate the y variable by subtracting 12x in both sides:

-4y = -12x - 8

To solve for y divide -4 in both sides

y = 3x + 2

Our answer would be y = 3x + 2
