Question

rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.

5x − 12y = 7

write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the y-term

Subtract \(5x\) from both sides: \(-12y = -5x + 7\)

Step2: Solve for y

Divide every term by \(-12\): \(y=\frac{-5}{-12}x+\frac{7}{-12}\)
Simplify the fractions: \(y = \frac{5}{12}x-\frac{7}{12}\)

Answer:

\(y=\frac{5}{12}x - \frac{7}{12}\)
