Hey there! :)

3y + 2x = 12

To find the slope of this equation, we must turn this into slope-intercept form. Slope-intercept form is very simply : y = mx + b ; where m = slope, b = y-intercept.

Our first step should be to subtract 2x from both sides.

3y + 2x - 2x = 12 - 2x

Simplify.

3y = -2x + 12

Then, divide both sides by 3 so that we could get y by itself (which is what we call isolated in the math world).

3y ÷ 3 = (-2x + 12) ÷ 3

Simplify.

y = -2/3x + 4

So, our slope is -2/3!

~hope I helped~

Sarah earns $3.25 an hour stuffing envelopes. Write a rule to describe how the amount of money, m, earned is a function of the n
DENIUS [597]
Answer is 3.25h = m
That’s because Sarah’s earning 3.25 per hour so if you want to figure out how much money she’s making you can just substitute your value for h. Pls mark brainliest if possible, have a nice day

Plug y=-4x+5 into a website called desmos, it will give you a graph! The y-intercept is 5 and it’s at a slope of 4/1
