Q-35

Convert this equation to slope-intercept form: y+2= -4/17x + 12/7

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept)

given y + 2 = -
`(4)/(17)` x +
`(12)/(7)`

Subtract 2 from both sides

y = -
`(4)/(17)` x +
`(12)/(7)` -
`(14)/(7)`

y = -
`(4)/(17)` x -
`(2)/(7)` ← in slope- intercept form
