Consider the equation 12x - 5y = 15
a. write the equation in slope intercept form
b. what is the slope?
c. what is the y-intercept

(a) Slope intercept form :

(b) Slope = 12/5

(c) y-intercept: -3

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Slope intercept from of a line is

        ..... (1)

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

The given equation is

Subtract 12x from both sides.

Divide both sides by -5.

      .... (2)

Therefore, the slope intercept form is .

(b)

On comparing (1) and (2) we get

The slope of the equation is 12/5.

(c)

On comparing (1) and (2) we get

The y-intercept of the equation is -3.

i believe the correct answer is b.
