Question 345437: put in slope intercept form
7x+3y= -12

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 7x+3y=-12
Since 7x does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 7x from both sides.
3y=-7x-12
Divide each term in the equation by 3.
(3y)/(3)=-(7x)/(3)-(12)/(3)
Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
y=-(7x)/(3)-(12)/(3)
Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
y=-(7x)/(3)-4
To find the slope and y intercept, use the y=mx+b formula where m=slope and b is the y intercept.
y=mx+b
Using the y=mx+b formula, m=-(7)/(3) and b=-4.
m=-(7)/(3), b=-4
