Answer:
2x + 3y = 12 Is the standard form for linear equations. To determine the slope, solve the equation for y in order to convert to the slope - intercept from7 y = mx + b where is m the slop and b is the y - intercept.
2x + 3y = 12
subtract 2x from both sides.
3y = -2x + 12
Divide both sides by 3.
y= - 2/3 x + 12/3 =
y= - 2/3x + 4
The slope is - 2/3
