Question

Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2$\frac{2}{5}$x - 3$\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

We need to get the equation 12x - 5y = 18 into slope-intercept form. This means, we must essentially solve for y.

12x - 5y = 18

Subtract 12x from both sides.

-5y = 18 - 12x

Divide by -5 on both sides

y = $\frac{18 - 12x}{-5}$

y = -3.6 + 2.4x

y = 2.4x - 3.6

or

y = 2$\frac{2}{5}$x - 3$\frac{3}{5}$

We are now in slope-intercept form.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12x - 5y = 18

-5y = -12x + 18

$y=\frac{-12}{-5}x+\frac{18}{-5}\\\\y=\frac{12}{5}x-\frac{18}{5}$
