begin by solving the linear equation for y. This will put the equation in slope-intercept form. Then find the slope and the y-intercept of the line with this equation. 3x - 4y = 12
\n" ); document.write( "It says to solve the equation for y first.
\n" ); document.write( "3x - 4y = 12 : Start by subtracting 3x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-4y = -3x + 12 : Then divide both sides by -4
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3/4x - 3 : Dividing the -3 by -4 it became a positive and 12/-4 is negative 3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The equation is now in slope-intercept form. The next part of the question said to figure out the slope and the y-intercept of the line using this equation.
\n" ); document.write( "Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "m = slope (3/4)
\n" ); document.write( "b = y-intercept (-3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
