12x + 13y − 2 = 0

1 answer

The equation you've provided, \( 12x + 13y - 2 = 0 \), is a linear equation in two variables (x and y). We can rearrange it into slope-intercept form (\( y = mx + b \)), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.

To convert the equation into slope-intercept form:

  1. Start with the given equation: \[ 12x + 13y - 2 = 0 \]

  2. Isolate \( y \): \[ 13y = -12x + 2 \]

  3. Divide everything by 13: \[ y = -\frac{12}{13}x + \frac{2}{13} \]

Now the equation is in slope-intercept form where:

  • The slope \( m = -\frac{12}{13} \)
  • The y-intercept \( b = \frac{2}{13} \)
