How to write the equation 12 - y = 2x -5 in slope intercept form

Answer 1

Keshawn,

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

12 - y = 2x - 5

Subtract 12 from each side to isolate y.

-y = 2x - 5 - 12

Multiply each side by - 1 so that we have a positive y on our left and combine like terms.

y = -2x + 17

Hope this helps! :)
