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 in slope-intercept form, we need to solve for . The slope-intercept form of a line is:
where is the slope and is the y-intercept.
-
Start with the given equation:
-
Subtract from both sides:
-
Divide every term by to solve for :
Thus, the equation in slope-intercept form is:
