Question

What is the slope and y-intercept of the line represented by the equation below? 13x+8y=12

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

rearrange 13x + 8y = 12 into this form

subtract 13x from both sides

8y = - 13x + 12 ( divide all terms by 8 )

y = - $\frac{13}{8}$ + $\frac{3}{2}$ ← in slope-intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{13}{8}$ and y-intercept c = $\frac{3}{2}$
