Answer:

y = -5/4x + 3

Explanation:

slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b

where 'm' represents slope and 'b' represents the y-intercept

basically we have to solve for 'y':

first step, add -5x to each side to get:

-4y = 5x - 12

last step, divide each side by -4 to get:

y = -5/4x + 3

slope equals -5/4

y-intercept equals 3
