Answer:

y = -2x/3 + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is expressed as y = mx+c

Given the equation 2x+3y=12, you will have to make y the subject of the formula as shown:

Given

2x+3y=12

3y = 12 - 2x

3y = -2x + 12

Divide through by 3

3y/3 = -2x/3 + 12/3

y = -2x/3 + 4

Hence the expression in slope intercept form is y = -2x/3 + 4
