Question

2x - 3y = 12

Find the slope-intercept form for the line...?

Answer 1

The slope intercept form is (x/a)+(y/b) =1, you need to change original form to this form

Answer 2

can you do now?

Answer 3

Not really..

Answer 4

try to make 1 on right side always

Answer 5

divide both side by 12

Answer 6

Ohh i got it !!

Answer 7

:)

Answer 8

Thanks dude :D

Answer 9

Actually, what you can do is to just look for the intercepts. Make the y zero for the x-int and x zero for the y-int. Then just substitute those values to a and b. :)

Answer 10

By the way, the slope-int form is not the one mentioned above but y=mx+b, because it basically gives you both the slope (m) and an intercept, specifically a y-intercept (b).

So to do this, just isolate y.

Answer 11

2x - 3y = 12
-3y = -2x + 12
y = (2/3) x - 4
done.

Answer 12

... slope is 2/3, intercept is -4.
