Question

Please help! Slope intercept form
2x -3y = 12
What would this be in slope intercept form?

Answer 1

You're basically solving for y

Answer 2

@lizajune can u do that??

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

Okay first step subtract 2x from both sides

Answer 5

I got that far

Answer 6

2x-3y=12
2x-2x -3y = 12-2x
-3y = 12-2x
Do u know the last step??

Answer 7

I ended up with y=15-2x Is that right?

Answer 8

Not quite u added 3 to 15 right?

Answer 9

I mean to 12?

Answer 10

Yeah

Answer 11

-3 and y are multiplied so u have to do the opposite which is?

Answer 12

Ok let me try again and see what I get

Answer 13

Kk (:

Answer 14

y=4-2x?

Answer 15

Very close :D
But u have to divide 2 by 3 as well (u can leave it as 2/3)

Answer 16

So what would the slope of the line be?

Answer 17

Y=-2/3x+4
^^ is written in the slope-intercept form which is y=mx+b
M is slope
B is y-intercept

Answer 18

Thanks a million!

Answer 19

Slope is -2/3
Y-intercept is 4

Answer 20

You're very Welcome!(:
