Question

Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form,- 16x = - 12y - 12

Answer 1

the slope-intercept form is

`y=mx+b`

so in order to have this form, we need to clear x

`\begin{gathered} -16x=-12y-12 \\ 12y=16x-12 \\ y=(16)/(12)x-(12)/(12) \\ y=(4)/(3)x-1 \end{gathered}`

the equation in slope-intercept form is

`y=(4)/(3)x-1`
