Question 62654
how do you solve  5x + 2y =12
The slope intercept form of a line is:  {{{highlight(y=mx+b)}}}, where m=slope and b=y-intercept.
5x+2y=12
-5x+5x+2y=-5x+12
2y=-5x+12
{{{2y/2=-5x/2+12/2}}}
{{{y=(-5/2)x+6}}}
{{{y=highlight(-5/2)x+6}}}
m=-5/2
{{{y=(-5/2)x+highlight(6)}}}
b=6
Happy Calculating!!!
