Math Problem Statement

or Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.

13x − 3y = –12

Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Solution

To rewrite the equation 13x3y=1213x - 3y = -12 in slope-intercept form, we need to solve for yy. The slope-intercept form of a line is:

y=mx+by = mx + b

where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept.

  1. Start with the given equation: 13x3y=1213x - 3y = -12

  2. Subtract 13x13x from both sides: 3y=13x12-3y = -13x - 12

  3. Divide every term by 3-3 to solve for yy: y=133x+4y = \frac{13}{3}x + 4

Thus, the equation in slope-intercept form is: y=133x+4y = \frac{13}{3}x + 4
