Question

put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions. 8x + 12y = -96

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate y - term

Subtract \(8x\) from both sides: \(12y=-8x - 96\)

Step2: Solve for y

Divide each term by \(12\): \(y=\frac{-8x}{12}-\frac{96}{12}\)
Simplify fractions: \(y =-\frac{2}{3}x - 8\)

Answer:

\(y =-\frac{2}{3}x - 8\)
