-2y=12x+60(
(12x+60)/-2=y
-6x+30=y
y-intercept=30
slope=-6

Answer:

Slope =-6,y intercept =-30

Explanation:

The equation of any line in slope intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

The given equation is 12x + 2y = -60

Subtracting 12x both sides:

2y=-12x -60.

With y term 2 is multiplied ,

Dividing both sides by 2 we have:

y=-6x-30

Comparing the equation with y=mx+b we have

m=-6 and b=-30

Slope =-6,y intercept b=-30
