Question

Find the y-intercept and the slope of 12x-4y=7

Answer 1

Slope: 3

y-intercept: -7/4

Explanation:

12x-4y=7

4y = 12x - 7

y = 3x - 7/4

Slope: 3

y-intercept: -7/4

Answer 2

The slope is 3 and the y intercept is -7/4

Explanation:

We need to get the equation in the form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

12x - 4y =7

Subtract 12x from each side

12x-12x -4y = -12x +7

-4y = -12x+7

Divide each side by -4

-4y/-4 = -12x/-4 +7/-4

y = 3x + -7/4

The slope is 3 and the y intercept is -7/4
