Question

Write each equation in slope intercept form.
12x + 4y = 8

Answer 1

The answer is y= negative 3 plus 2

Answer 2

Slope-intercept form:

This is a way we can organize a linear equation:

`y=mx+b`

• m = slope
• b = y-intercept

Solving the Question

We're given:

`12x + 4y = 8`

To organize this equation in slope-intercept form, we have to focus on isolating y:

`12x + 4y = 8\\4y = - 12x +8\\y = - 3x +2`

Answer

`y = - 3x +2`
