Answer: y=-12/5(x-2)

Explanation:

Move x to the right.

1/4y = -1/2 - 3/5x

2) Multiply both sides by 4 to make y by itself.

-1/2 * 4 = -2 (Multiply the top by 4 and you will get -4/2 = -2)

-3/5x * 4 = -12/5x (Multiply the top by 4 and you will get -12/5x)

y= -2 - 12/5x

3) Reorder the terms so that x goes first.

y= -12/5x -2

Answer:
y= (-12)/(5)x -2

Explanation:

1) Move x to the right.

1/4y = -1/2 - 3/5x

2) Multiply both sides by 4 to make y by itself.

-1/2 * 4 = -2 (Multiply the top by 4 and you will get -4/2 = -2)

-3/5x * 4 = -12/5x (Multiply the top by 4 and you will get -12/5x)

y= -2 - 12/5x

3) Reorder the terms so that x goes first.

y= -12/5x -2
