how do you solve 5x + 2y =12
The slope intercept form of a line is: highlight%28y=mx%2Bb%29, where m=slope and b=y-intercept.
5x+2y=12
-5x+5x+2y=-5x+12
2y=-5x+12
2y%2F2=-5x%2F2%2B12%2F2
y=%28-5%2F2%29x%2B6
y=highlight%28-5%2F2%29x%2B6
m=-5/2
y=%28-5%2F2%29x%2Bhighlight%286%29
b=6
Happy Calculating!!!
