\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5x-4y%2B12=0\" Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-4y%2B12=0-5x\" Subtract \"5x\" from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-4y=0-5x-12\" Subtract \"12\" from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-4y=-5x-12\" Combine like terms on the right side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28-5x-12%29%2F%28-4%29\" Divide both sides by \"-4\" to isolate \"y\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%285%2F4%29x%2B3\" Simplify.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the equation is now in slope intercept form \"y=mx%2Bb\" where the slope is \"m=5%2F4\" and the y-intercept is \"b=3\", which is the point (0,3).
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
