Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.

Question

12x-20y=-100

Answer 1

To put the equation 12x - 20y = -100 into slope-intercept form, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.

First, we subtract 12x from both sides:
-20y = -12x - 100

Next, we divide all terms by -20 to simplify the fraction:
y = (-12x - 100) / -20

Simplifying further:
y = 12/20 * x + 100/20

Reducing the fractions:
y = 3/5 * x + 5
