Given the equation of the line:
12x+ 2y = -12
Change the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.
Solution:
In order to change the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, we simply must equate it in the form.
y =mx + b
Transpose 12x to the other side of the equation and divide both sides by 2 in order to cancel out 2y leaving behind. Hence we must also take note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
12x + 2y =-12
2y = -12 - 12x
2y/2 =(-12 - 12x)/2
y = -6 - 6x
Final answer:
y = -6 - 6x
