Write -5x-12y=12 in slope intercept form

y = (-5/12)x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The fastest way in which to express -5x-12y=12 in slope-intercept form is to solve -5x-12y=12 for y:  

Add 5x to both sides, obtaining -12y = 12 + 5x.

Next, divide both sides by -12, obtaining   y = -1 - (5/12)x, or y = (-5/12)x - 1.

guess at question:

a vertical line intersects the graph of g(x,y) = 0 at two points. what conclusion follows about the function f(x) implicitly defined by g(x,f(x)) = 0?

the domain of f(x) cannot include the x coordinate of any such vertical line.

informally, f(x) is not a function, and

g(x,y)=0 cannot be solved for y uniquely.

the relation r = {(x,y) such that g(x,y) = 0} is a function if

for all (a,b) ∊ r and (c,d) ∊ r, a=c implies b=d.
