Question

Sole for y

y-5=1/3(x-12)

Answer 1

By distributing 1/3 to the x-12 you get 1/3X-4, then you add 5 to get y by itself to get y= 1/3x+1.

Answer 2

y = 1/3 x +1

Explanation:

y-5=1/3(x-12)

Distribute the 1/3

y-5 = 1/3x -1/3 *12

y-5 = 1/3 x -4

Add 5 to each side

y-5+5 = 1/3 x-4+5

y = 1/3 x +1
