Question

Given the equation 2x - y = 12, which equation is written in slope intercept from?

Answer 1

Hi there! The answer is y = 2x - 12

To find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form, we must isolate y.

$2x - y = 12$
Subtract 2x from both sides.

$- y = - 2x + 12$
Divide the entire eqiation by -1.

$y = 2x - 12$
Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Answer 2

Solution:

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