Question

What is the slope-intercept form of the linear equation x + 4y = 12?

Answer 1

Do you know what the solve intercept form is?

Answer 2

Like as in the equation?

Answer 3

not really I really need help understanding

Answer 4

Alright, when finding the slope intercept form, you have to make the equation you are given in y=mx+b form
Essentially, we need to solve for y.

Answer 5

In the equation you are given, x + 4y = 12, we must bring 4 to the other side of the equal sign.
Do you know how to do this?

Answer 6

subtract from both sides?

Answer 7

Correct!
Tell me what you get when you do this.

Answer 8

Whoops, i made a mistake.

Answer 9

Just a minute. What is it that we're subtracting from both sides?

Answer 10

Recall what we are trying to isolate

Answer 11

I meant to say bring the x to the other side
In order to do this, you have to subtract the x. My fault.

Answer 12

wait so how do we subtract x

Answer 13

Yes, not the four.
