8x%2B12y=-96 ...to write it in slope intercept form, solve for y
12y=-8x-96
y=-8x%2F12-96%2F12
y=-%282%2F3%29x+-+8

Ax+%2B+By+=+C solves to y+=+expr%28-A%2FB%29x+%2B+C%2FB, where B+%3C%3E0+

In this case A = 8, B = 12, and C = -96
y+=+expr%28-A%2FB%29x+%2B+C%2FB

y+=+expr%28-8%2F12%29x++%2B+%28-96%29%2F12

y+=+expr%28-2%2F3%29x+-+8
It's now in slope intercept form y = mx+b
m = -2/3 = slope
b = -8 = y intercept
