To write the equation 6y - 12 = 3x in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we need to solve for y.
First, let's get y by itself on one side of the equation. To do this, we can add 12 to both sides to isolate the y term:
6y - 12 + 12 = 3x + 12
6y = 3x + 12
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for y:
(6y)/6 = (3x + 12)/6
y = (3/6)x + 2
Simplifying the equation further, we can simplify the fraction 3/6 to its lowest terms:
y = (1/2)x + 2
Therefore, the equation 6y - 12 = 3x written in slope-intercept form is y = (1/2)x + 2.
