how can you set an equation to y=mx +b form?

Example: 6x-4y=12

y=mx+b is slope intercept form

6x-4y=12
subtract 6x on both sides
-4y=-6x+12
divide -4 to both sides
y=6/4x-3
i think you should also simply 6/4 to 3/2

so
y=3/2x - 3

what if it's the other way around, like what if it adds instead of subtracting like

-2x+5y= -10

-2x+5y=-10

since its a -2x and we want to move it to the other side, you would add it

5y=2x-10
then divide 5 to both sides
y=2/5x - 2

thanks, you've helped aloooooot!

Thank you!!! i appreciate it!

ha np! i use to have the same problems you did with this stuff.

lol...really what grade are you in?

haha i just got through that chapter last week. :)

im in 11th grade.

I'm in 8th!!! :) (haha i don't think you asked for mine, but, haha. :))

really that's cool. Yeah... math's one of my weakest subjects, that's why i come here for help. Do you like math
