Question

What is 2x -3y = 12 in slope intercept form?

Answer 1

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b
Right now, this is in standard form, ax + by = c
You need to get y on one side of the equal sign by itself.
2x - 3y = 12
Add 3y to each side, this will make it 2x = 12 + 3y
Subtract 12 from each side.
2x - 12 = 3y
To isolate y, divide both sides by 3.
(2/3)x - 4 = y
You can switch it around to y = (2/3)x - 4

Answer 2

2x - 3y = 12
-2x -2x
-3y = -2x +12
-3y/-3 -2/-3 12/-3
Y= 2/3x -4

Answer 3

So the slope is 2/3 and the y intercept is -4?

Answer 4
