Write the equation in slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y-intercept? –5x – 12y = 11
To write the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to solve for y.
-5x - 12y = 11
To isolate y, we can start by subtracting -5x from both sides:
-12y = 5x + 11
Next, divide both sides by -12:
y = (-5/12)x - 11/12
The equation in slope-intercept form is y = (-5/12)x - 11/12.
The slope of the equation is -5/12 and the y-intercept is -11/12.
To convert the equation –5x – 12y = 11 into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, we need to isolate the term with y.
Let's rearrange the equation step-by-step:
-5x - 12y = 11
First, subtract -5x from both sides:
-12y = 5x + 11
Next, divide both sides by -12 to isolate y:
y = (-5/12)x - 11/12
Now the equation is in slope-intercept form. We can identify the slope and y-intercept:
The slope (m) is -5/12.
The y-intercept (b) is -11/12.
To write the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.
Start by rearranging the equation, moving the -5x term to the right side:
-12y = 5x + 11
Next, divide both sides of the equation by -12 to solve for y:
y = (-5/12)x - (11/12)
Now that the equation is in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we can identify the slope (m) and y-intercept (b). In this case, the slope is -5/12, and the y-intercept is -11/12.
