Question

how do i express each equation in slope-intercept form?
x + 6/12y = -83
12x + 4y = -1772

Answer 1

Arrange the equation to the y=mx+b form
1/2 y=-x-83
y=-2x-166 for the first one.

Answer 2

4y=-12x-1772
y=-3x-443 for the other.

Answer 3

can you please explain the process? thanks <3

Answer 4

You the rules of algebra. You want to get y on the left and the x + b on the right.
Now the first equation: x+ (6/12)y=-83 . Simplify and use the rules of algebra.
First simplify the 6/12 which is 1/2.
Next subtract x from both sides you now have x-x+(1/2)y=-x-83
simplify: 1/2 (y)=-x-83 Now solve for y, by multiplying boths sides by 2 getting:
y=-2x-166. You now have it in the desired form
The slope (m) is -2 and is the coefficient of x. constant b is -166 and is the y intercept (the value of y when x is 0)

Answer 5

Any further questions chaplaps?

Answer 6

no, not as of yet. :) thanks

Answer 7

Good luck.

Answer 8

the second equation is confusing, how can I solve it ? im stuck at 4y = -12x-1772
