Question

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.

12y−15x=84

Answer 1

Hey Si,

The goal for this question is to get this function in the following form: y=mx+b

One way to solve this is to add 15x to both sides of equation in order to get rid on 15x on the left side and rewrite it as : 12y= 15x + 84

Then since the goal is to have only y on the left side, divide everything by 12 and get :

y= (5/4) * x + 7

Let me know if this helps
