The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:
y+=+mx%2Bb where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Starting with the given equation:
2x%2B3y+=+-12 Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation.
3y+=+-2x-12 Now divide both sides by 3.
%283%2F3%29y+=+%28-2%2F3%29x-12%2F3
highlight%28y+=+%28-2%2F3%29x-4%29
