Question

Write the equation in Slope - intercept form by solving for y. 2x+3y=12

Answer 1

When they ask you to solve for y, they just want you to isolate it on one side of the equal sign (like how it is in a slope-intercept form equation). So to start:

2x + 3y = 12

3y = -2x + 12     Subtract 2x from both sides to move it to the right.

y = $\frac{-2}{3}$ + 4     Divide both sides by 3 to completely isolate the y value.

Notice how y = $\frac{-2}{3}$ + 4 is a slope-intercept form equation and is solved for y.

Therefore, the equation would be y = $\frac{-2}{3}$ + 4.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

y=-2/3x+4 i hope this helps!
