Explanation:
Slope intercept form:
#5x + 8y = 96#
Let's rewrite this equation in slope intercept form. First get the
#8y = 96 - 5x#
Now divide out the
#y = 12 - 5/8x#
Rearrange the terms on the right side of the equal sign to match the slope intercept equation from above.
#y = -5/8x + 12#
If you were to graph this line it would look like: graph{-5/8x + 12 [-10.04, 9.96, 7.46, 17.88]}
