how can you set an equation to y=mx +b form?

Example: 6x-4y=12
Answered by Chopsticks
y=mx+b is slope intercept form

6x-4y=12
subtract 6x on both sides
-4y=-6x+12
divide -4 to both sides
y=6/4x-3
i think you should also simply 6/4 to 3/2

so
y=3/2x - 3
Answered by Linell
what if it's the other way around, like what if it adds instead of subtracting like

-2x+5y= -10
Answered by Chopsticks
-2x+5y=-10
since its a -2x and we want to move it to the other side, you would add it

5y=2x-10
then divide 5 to both sides
y=2/5x - 2
