Question

Please put this equation into slope interception form.
x+3y=-12

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

To put a standard equation in slope-intercept form, we would have to make 'y' the subject.

===============================================

`x + 3y =-12\\ \rule{150}{0.5}\\ x - x + 3y = -12 -x\\\\ 3y = -12 -x\\\\ 3y = -x -12 \leftarrow\text{I switched the term order on the right side.}\\\\ (3y = -x -12)/(3)\\\\\ \boxed{y = -(1)/(3)x -4}`

===============================================

Hope this helps.
