Question

What is the slope-intercept form of 3x+6y=-12

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -1/2x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We need to solve for y

3x+6y=-12

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-3x+6y = -3x-12

6y = -3x-12

Divide each side by 6

6y/6 = -3x/6 -12/6

y = -1/2x -2

This in in slope intercept form where the slope is -1/2 and the y intercept is -2
