Algebra.Com's Answer #236323 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! solve for y, and state the slope and y-intercept? The equation is: \n" ); document.write( "3x - 4y = -12 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Subtract 3x from both sides \n" ); document.write( "-4y = -3x - 12 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "y has to be positive, mult by -1, change all the signs \n" ); document.write( "4y = 3x + 12 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 4 \n" ); document.write( "y = \n" ); document.write( "y = \n" ); document.write( "This is the \"slope/intercept\" form therefore: \n" ); document.write( "slope = |
