Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
- m - slope
- b - y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
[Standard Form] -5x - 4y = -12
<u>Step 2: Rewrite</u>
- Add 5x to both sides: -4y = 5x - 12
- Divide -4 on both sides: y = -5/4x + 3
<u>Step 3: Identify</u>
<em>Break apart the function.</em>
Slope <em>m</em> = -5/4
y-intercept <em>b</em> = 3
