Can you change 4x−3y=12 into slope-intercept form?

So first, you subtract 4x from both sides to try and get y by itself. The equation then becomes -3y=-4x+12. Then, you divide both sides by -3 to get y completely by itself. -4 doesn’t go into -3 evenly, so you just leave it as 4/3. 12 divided by -3 is -4. The final answer is y=4/3x -4.

Anytime you have a problem that asks for slope intercept for remember the formula, Y=MX+B

Have a nice day :)

Answer:

y = 4/3x -4

Explanation:

4x -3y =12

move the variable to the right

-3y = 12 -4x

Change the signs

3y= -12 +4x

Divide both sides

y = -4 + 4/3x

Answer: y = 4/3x -4

Hope that helps!
