Question

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all

fractions.
20y-12x = -60

Answer 1

y = (3/5)x - 3

Explanation:

Starting with the given equation: 20y - 12x = -60

First, we can add 12x to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -12x term on the left side:

20y - 12x + 12x = -60 + 12x

This simplifies to:

20y = 12x - 60

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 20 to isolate y:

20y/20 = (12x - 60)/20

This simplifies to:

y = (12/20)x - 60/20

Reducing the fractions gives:

y = (3/5)x - 3

So the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, with all fractions simplified, is y = (3/5)x - 3
