Question

Write the equation in slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y-intercept?

-5x - 12y = 11

Answer 1

-11/12

Explanation:

Answer 2

The slope would be -5/12 and the intercept would be -11/12

Explanation:

To find the slope and intercept of this line, solve for y.

-5x - 12y = 11

-12y = 5x + 11

y = -5/12x - 11/12

Now that we have this, we know that the slope is the coefficient of x (-5/12). Then we can locate the intercept as the constant at the end (-11/12)
