Question

Write the equation in slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y-intercept?

- 8x + 12y = -6

Answer 1

y=2/3x-1/2 where slope is 2/3 and the y-intercept is (0, -1/2).

Explanation:

-8x+12y=-6

12y=-6-(-8x)

12y=-6+8x

12y=8x-6

y=8/12x-6/12

y=2/3x-1/2

slope-intercept form is: y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept.
