Question

Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form,- 16x = - 12y - 12

Answer 1

the slope-intercept form is

$y=mx+b$

so in order to have this form, we need to clear x

$\begin{gathered} -16x=-12y-12 \\ 12y=16x-12 \\ y=\frac{16}{12}x-\frac{12}{12} \\ y=\frac{4}{3}x-1 \end{gathered}$

the equation in slope-intercept form is

$y=\frac{4}{3}x-1$
