Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

rearrange 13x + 8y = 12 into this form

subtract 13x from both sides

8y = - 13x + 12 ( divide all terms by 8 )

y = -
(13)/(8) +
(3)/(2) ← in slope-intercept form

with slope m = -
(13)/(8) and y-intercept c =
(3)/(2)
