Question

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

12x-20y= 60

Answer 1

`y=(3)/(5) x-3`

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx+ b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Rearrange the equation:

`-20y=-12x+60`

Divide each side by -20:

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

`y=(3)/(5) x-3`

`y=(3)/(5) x-3` is your simplified, slope-intercept form equation.
