Question 816578: Find the slope and the y-intercept for the linear equation -2y=5x-12
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-2y = 5x - 12
---
put in standard form:
---
5x + 2y = 12
---
the above linear equation is in standard form, with a=5, b=2, and c=12
---
to solve the linear equation, plug this:
5 2 12
into the "Standard form: A B C" input box here: https://sooeet.com/math/linear-equation-solver.php

Answer:
slope = -2.5
y-intercept = 6
---
the slope-intercept form:
y = -2.5x + 6
