Question

Convert the equation from standard form to slope intercept form
5x+3y=12

Answer 1

y = (-5/3)x + 4

Explanation:

To convert the equation from standard form to slope-intercept form, we need to isolate the y variable on one side of the equation.

First, let’s subtract 5x from both sides of the equation:

5x + 3y = 12

-5x -5x

---------

3y = -5x + 12

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate y:

3y/3 = (-5/3)x + 12/3

y = (-5/3)x + 4
