note that the slope intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
I just solved for y.
I can make that equation into the slope intercept form very easily though.
I gave you the equation of :
y = (12-3x)/4
I divide this equation out to get:
y = (12/4) - (3x/4)
I simplify to get:
y = 3 - (3/4)*x
I rearrange the terms on the right side of the equation to get:
y = -(3/4)*x + 3
The slope is -(3/4) and the y intercept is 3
If you look at the graph, you will see that when x = 0, y = 3. That's your y-intercept point.
You will also see that when x move 4 units in the positive direction (from x = 0 to x = 4), y move 3 units in the negative direction (from y = 3 to y = 0).
That's your slope (-3/4) which is the change in y divided by the change in x
