Question

What is 6x +3y=12 in slope intercept form

Answer 1

y = -2x + 4

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

`y=mx+b`

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the equation in a standard form:

`6x+3y=12`

Convert:

`6x+3y=12` subtract 6x from both sides

`6x-6x+3y=-6x+12`

`3y=-6x+12` divide both sides by 3

`(3y)/(3)=(-6x)/(3)+(12)/(3)`

`y=-2x+4`
