Question

Given the equation 2x - y = 12, which equation is written in slope intercept from?

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

Answer 1

Solution:

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

Answer 2

Hi there! The answer is y = 2x - 12

To find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form, we must isolate y.


`2x - y = 12`
Subtract 2x from both sides.


`- y = - 2x + 12`
Divide the entire eqiation by -1.


`y = 2x - 12`
Therefore, the correct answer is B.
