Question

How do you find the slope and y intercept of `12x = 2y+1`?

Answer 1

Convert the given equation into slope-intercept form to obtain:
`color(white)("XXX")`slope `=6`
`color(white)("XXX")`y-intercept `=(-1/2)`

Explanation:

The general slope-intercept form is
`color(white)("XXX")y=mx+b`
with slope `m` and y-intercept `b`

Given:
`color(white)("XXX")12x=2y+1`

`color(white)("XXX")2y=12x-1`

`color(white)("XXX")y=6x+(-1/2)`
which is in slope-intercept form with slope `6` and y-intercept `(-1/2)`
