What is the slope and y-intercept of 3x-4y=12 and how do you find it?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Strategy is to rearrange given equation into the \"slope-intercept\" form:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "m is the slope
\n" ); document.write( "b is the y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "3x-4y=12
\n" ); document.write( "-4y = -3x+12
\n" ); document.write( "y = (3/4)x - 3
\n" ); document.write( "so, from inspection:
\n" ); document.write( "slope is 3/4
\n" ); document.write( "y-intercept is at -3
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
