Question

Write the equation in slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y-intercept? -12x-4y=10

Answer 1

y = -3x -2.5

slope: -3

y-intercept: -2.5

Explanation:

Solve for y.

-4y = 12x + 10 . . . . . add 12x to get the y-term by itself

y = -3x -2.5 . . . . . . .divide by the coefficient of y

__

The slope is the coefficient of x, -3.

The y-intercept is the constant, -2.5.
