Question

rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.
13x + 12y = 18
write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the y-term

$12y = -13x + 18$

Step2: Solve for y (divide by 12)

$y = \frac{-13x + 18}{12}$

Step3: Simplify the fractions

$y = -\frac{13}{12}x + \frac{18}{12} = -\frac{13}{12}x + \frac{3}{2}$

Answer:

$y = -\frac{13}{12}x + \frac{3}{2}$
