Question

Put this equation into slope-
intercept form.
5x – 4y = 12

Answer 1

`y =(5)/(4)x+ ( -3)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides

`5x - 4y = 12`

`5x - 5x - 4y = 12 - 5x`

`-4y = 12 - 5x`

Step 2: Divide both sides by -4

`(-4y)/(-4) = (12)/(-4) - (5)/(-4)x`

`y =(5)/(4)x+ ( -3)`

Answer:
`y =(5)/(4)x+ ( -3)`
