Question

What is the equation 4x+6y=-12 in slope-intercent form?

Answer 1

y = -
`(2)/(3)` x - 2

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

given

4x + 6y = - 12 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

6y = - 4x - 12 ( divide through by 6 )

y = -
`(4)/(6)` x -
`(12)/(6)` , that is

y = -
`(2)/(3)` x - 2 ← in slope- intercept form
