Algebra.Com's Answer #249972 by ewatrrr(24785)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi, \n" ); document.write( "*Note: Solving for y puts the equation into the slope-intercept form: \n" ); document.write( "General form is: y = mx + b where m is the slope and b th y-intercept \n" ); document.write( "3x+4y-12=0 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "solving for y \n" ); document.write( "y = (-3/4)*x + 3 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "y- intercept is 3 (0,3) a point on the line with a slope of (-3/4)line slants to the left \n" ); document.write( "x-intercept is 4 (4,0)a point on the line (Note as y decreased by 3, x increased by 4)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
