Question

What is the slope-intercept form of this equation?

8 x plus 6 y equals 12
A. y equals negative fraction 4 over 3 end fraction x plus 2
B. y equals negative fraction 4 over 3 end fraction x plus 6
C. y equals fraction 4 over 3 end fraction x plus 6
D. y equals 2 thirds x plus 2

Answer 1

I would say your answer will be A. The slope is negative four over three. And the Y-intercept is 2.

Answer 2

8X+6Y=12

Here's how you solve it:

Just isolate y by itself to get y-intercept form.
This is the formula: Y=MX+B

M is the slope or the number next to X in the original problem.

First:
6Y=-8X+12

Next:
divided everything by 6

Y=-4/3+2

I think the answer is A!
