Question

What is the slope-intercept form of `13x+5y=12`?

Answer 1

`y=(-13/5)x+12/5` is in slope-intercept form, where `(-13/5)` is slope and `12/5` is its intercept on `y` axis.

Explanation:

A linear equation in slope-intercept form is `y=mx+c`. Hence, to convert the equation `13x+5y=12` into slope-intercept form, one has to find the value of `y`.

As `13x+5y=12`, `5y=-13x+12` or

`y=(-13/5)x+12/5`

This is now in slope-intercept form, where `(-13/5)` is slope and `12/5` is its intercept on `y` axis.
