Add -2x to both sides. Divide both sides by -12.

Hi...how's it going?
Okay for this problem we are going to get this equation into the form y=mx+b which is slope intercept form. We need to get the y value by itself on one side so our first step is to subtract 2x from both sides to get -12y=-2x-60. Now that we have the y value by itself we need to divide by -12 on each side to get y=2/12x-60/12, which is simplified to y= 1/6x-5. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions. :)
