You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a) As equation is 5x+4y=12
\n" ); document.write( "we get 4y=12-5x
\n" ); document.write( "thus y=3-(5/4)x
\n" ); document.write( "thus y=-(5/4)x+3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) comparing this equation to famous y=mx+c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the Y-intercept we get,
\n" ); document.write( "slope=-5/4 and
\n" ); document.write( "y-intercept=3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c)when x=16, y =-(5/4)*16+3
\n" ); document.write( "thus y=-20+3;
\n" ); document.write( "thus y=-17\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
