how to write 2y + 5x = 12 in function form
I'm assuming by function form you mean the form of y=mx + b.
2y + 5x = 12
So if we want to put this into function form, we want to isolate y.
2y + 5x = 12
2y + 5x - 5x = 12
2y = 12 - 5x
y = -5/2x + 6
so, can this be written as y = -2.5x + 6?
To write the equation 2y + 5x = 12 in function form, we need to express either y or x as a function of the other variable. Let's express y in terms of x:
1. Start by isolating y on one side of the equation. Subtract 5x from both sides:
2y = 12 - 5x
2. Next, divide every term by 2 to solve for y:
y = (12 - 5x)/2
Now, we have expressed y as a function of x. The function form of the equation 2y + 5x = 12 is:
y = (12 - 5x)/2
