PLS WRITE IN SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM
–18y + 8 = 12x
SOLVE FOR Y

Answer 1

Answer: y = (-2/3)x + (4/9)

Explanation:

y = mx + b is the form expected

-18y + 8 = 12x

subtract 8 from both sides

-18y = 12x - 8

divide both sides by -18

y = (12x/-18) - (8/-18)

Simplify the negatives and pull x out of the parenthesis (this only works if x is in the numerator).

y = (-12/18)x + 8/18

Simplify the fractions

y = (-2/3)x + 4/9

Answer 2

The required value of y is,

• y = -(2/3)x + (4/9)

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ -18y + 8 = 12x

The slope-intercept form is,

→ y = mx + b

Let's rewrite the equation,

→ y = mx + b

→ -18y + 8 = 12x

→ -18y = 12x - 8

→ -y = (12x - 8)/18

→ -y = (2/3)x - (4/9)

→ y = -(2/3)x + (4/9)

Hence, this is the answer.
