How did you get it?

Answer 2

7 is the y intercept

Answer 3

Slope-intercept form is given as follows:
y = mx + b
In this equation, "m" is the slope, and "b" is the y-intercept.
y = 12x + 7
We can clearly see that the 12 in the equation is the "m" in the general slope-intercept form.
So what do you think the slope of the equation is?

Answer 4

there ya go

Answer 5

y=mx+b

Answer 6

looks to me like it's y = 1 2

Answer 7
