Question

How to do 4x + 5y = 12 ?

Answer 1

is this for a linear equation?

Answer 2

or no

Answer 3

Yeah it is. I have to solve for Y, but i dont really get it.

Answer 4

wait are you solving for y or is it y=mx+b

Answer 5

Oh sorry i meant y=mx+b

Answer 6

ok great. So what i always do is try to get y on its own. Subtract 4x on the left and add it(in negative form) on the right, so you have 5y=4x+12. Then, keeping isolating y in mind, divide the entire equation by 5, which gives you y=4/5x+12/5. That's really it. If you have more questions like these message me @cooldude8484 and i will be happy to help.

Answer 12

4x + 5y = 12
5y = -4x + 12
y = -4/5x + 12/5

Answer 13

slope is -4/5 , y intercept is 12/5.
