Question

What is the slope-intercept form of the linear equation x + 4y = 12?

enter your answer in the box.
plz i need help will give 10 points

Answer 1

y = -
`(1)/(4)` x + 3

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

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

rearrange x + 4y = 12 into this form

subtract x from both sides

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

y = -
`(1)/(4)` x + 3 ← in slope-intercept form
