Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of each line.
12x - 11y= 18

Answer 1

y=
`(12)/(11)x`+
`(-18)/(11)`

Explanation:

What you do first is you move the 12x to the other side of the equation to get

-11y=18-12x

Move the 12x to the front to get the slope intercept form set up

-11y=-12x+18

Then divide the whole thing by -11 to get the y to become by itself

y=
`(12)/(11)x`+
`(-18)/(11)`

The 12/11 will become positive and the b value will become negative
