Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12x - 5y = 18

-5y = -12x + 18

[tex]y=\frac{-12}{-5}x+\frac{18}{-5}\\\\y=\frac{12}{5}x-\frac{18}{5}[/tex]

Answer:

y = 2[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]x - 3[tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

We need to get the equation 12x - 5y = 18 into slope-intercept form. This means, we must essentially solve for y.

12x - 5y = 18

Subtract 12x from both sides.

-5y = 18 - 12x

Divide by -5 on both sides

y = [tex]\frac{18 - 12x}{-5}[/tex]

y = -3.6 + 2.4x

y = 2.4x - 3.6

or

y = 2[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]x - 3[tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

We are now in slope-intercept form.
