Question

Write the equation in slope intercept form. what are the slope and y intercept -5x-12y=11

Answer 1

y =
`-(5)/(12) x` Slope is
`-(5)/(12)`; y-intercept is
`-(11)/(12)`.

Explanation:

-5x - 12y = 11 Add 5x to each side.

-12y = 5x + 11 Divide each side by -12.

y =
`-(5)/(12) x + (-(11)/(12) )` Change the + to -.

y =
`-(5)/(12) x - (11)/(12)`

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b, so slope is
`-(5)/(12)`; y-intercept is
`-(11)/(12).`

Answer 2

The slope is -5/12

And the y-intercept is (0, -11/12)
