Slope-Intercept Form: where is a slope and is y-intercept
......solve for



so, the slope is and y-intercept is

Your answers are INCORRECT, and even if they weren't, in most cases they would NOT be acceptable since they've NOT been reduced to their lowest terms.

First thing to do is FACTOR out the GCF, which is 2, to get: 3x - 2y = 12
3x - 12 = 2y ------ Adding 2y and subtracting 12 to/from both sides
---- Dividing each side by 2 to ISOLATE y
