Question

3x-12y=-60 what is the slope draw it please.

Answer 1

Start by solving for y.

Answer 2

We can change this into slope intercept form so we can see exactly what the slope is
So we want to make THAT look like:
\[\large y = mx + b\]
because here, we see that 'm' is the slope of the line...and 'b' is the y-interept...so

3x - 12y = -60

if we subtract 3x from both sides of the equation we have

-12y = -3x - 60

Now if we divide EVERYTHING by 12...we get

\[\large y = \frac{3}{12}x + \frac{60}{12}\]
or
\[\large y= \frac{1}{4}x + 5\]

so now we see that 1/4 is the slope...and 5 is the y-intercept
