Question

How do you write `-12 = 2y + 1/2x` in slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

`y = - (1) / (4) x - 6`

Explanation:

We have: `- 12 = 2 y + (1) / (2) x`

In order to write this line's equation in slope-intercept form, we need to express it in terms of `y`:

`=> 2 y = - 12 - (1) / (2) x`

`=> y = - 6 - (1) / (4) x`

`=> y = - (1) / (4) x - 6`
