~~~~~12x+4y = -36\\\\\implies 3x +y = -9\\\\\implies y = -3x -9

\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Question:-}}}}

Write 12x+4y=-36 in slope intercept form.


\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to Solve:-}}}}

Slope intercept form looks like so:-

y=mx+b

Right now the line's equation is written in standard form, ax+by=c.

First, subtract 12x on both sides:-

4y=-36-12x

Now divide by 4 on both sides:-

y=-9-3x

On further simplification,

switch -9 and -3x places (it's not mandatory)

y=-3x-9

That's our equation in slope intercept form.

Good luck.
