To rewrite the inequality \(12x + y \geq 12\) in slope-intercept form (which is \(y = mx + b\)), we need to isolate \(y\). Here are the steps:

  1. Start with the original inequality: \[ 12x + y \geq 12 \]

  2. Subtract \(12x\) from both sides: \[ y \geq 12 - 12x \]

  3. Rearrange the right side: \[ y \geq -12x + 12 \]

Now, we have the inequality in the slope-intercept form. Therefore, the final answer is: \[ y \geq -12x + 12 \]
