Question

What is the slope-intercept form of `-5x+12y=26`?

Answer 1

`y=5/12x+13/6`

Explanation:

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

Given
`color(white)("XXX")-5x+12y=26`
Add `5x` to both sides
`color(white)("XXX")12y=5x+26`
Divide both sides by `12`
`color(white)("XXX")y=5/12x+13/6`
which is the slope intercept form with slope `5/12` and y-intercept at `13/6`
