how to write; 2x+3y=12 in slope intercept form

Question

anonymous · Answer

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b

Try to keep the y term to the left side and get the x-term on the right. What do you get?
Then isolate the y by dividing the answer by 3

anonymous · Answer

subtract 2x from each side... then divide each side by 3

anonymous · Answer

2x+3y=12
-2x       -2x
______________
3y= -2x+12
3y/3 =-2x/ 3 + 12/3
y=-2/3x=4

Need me to explain further or any more help?

ThailynnIsMe if you have to subtract 2x from both sides how come you put 3y= -2x=12 shouldnt it be 12-2?

anonymous · Answer

Sorry the answer is y=-2/3x+4
It was a typo! Sorry :)

                                _____________
                                3y+10
                               3/3 10/3
                               y= 3.33 repeating.
