How do you find the slope and y-intercept of 2x-3y=12?

Answer 1

Eva Adamson

#"slope "=2/3," y-intercept "=-4#

#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.

#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#

#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#

#"rearrange "2x-3y=12" into this form"#

#"subtract 2x from both sides"#

#rArr-3y=-2x+12#

#"divide all terms by "-3#

#rArry=2/3x-4larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#

#"with slope "=2/3" and y-intercept "=-4#

To find the slope and y-intercept of the equation (2x - 3y = 12), rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form, (y = mx + b), where (m) is the slope and (b) is the y-intercept.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
