to find the slope and y-intercept of -x+%2B+3y+=+12 write it in slope intercept form
y=mx%2Bb where m is a slope and b is y-intercept
-x+%2B+3y+=+12
-x%2Bx+%2B+3y+=x%2B+12
+3y+=x%2B+12
+3y%2F3+=x%2F3%2B+12%2F3
+y+=%281%2F3%29x%2B+4

=> m=1%2F3 is a slope and b=4 is y-intercept

Find the slope and y-intercept of -x + 3y = 12.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the slope and y-intercept of Ax + By = C
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Ax%2BBy=C
By=-Ax%2BC
y=-%28A%2FB%29x%2BC%2FB


The slope? y=highlight%28-%28A%2FB%29%29x%2BC%2FB

The y-intercept? y=-%28A%2FB%29x%2Bhighlight%28C%2FB%29
