Answer:

y = (8/7)x - (12/7)

Explanation:

Slope intercept form: y=mx + b

1) Separate all numbers/variables that are not attached y on the opposite side to the y variable

8x -7y = 12

-7y = -8x + 12

2) divide -7 from the equation to get y alone

y = (-8x + 12)/(-7)

3) separate terms to fit y=mx+b

y=(8/7)x - (12/7)
