1) The equation 2y + 3x = 12 in the y = mx + b form is [tex]y = -\frac{2}{3} x + 4[/tex]
2) The linear equation y = -2x - 1 in the Ax + By = C form is 2x + y = -1
The point-slope form of the equation of a line is y = mx + b
where m represents the slope
b represents the y-intercept
The given equation is:
2x + 3y = 12 (Given)
Subtract 2x from both sides
2x + (-2x) + 3y = 12 + (-2x)
3y = 12 - 2x (Equality property of addition)
3y = -2x + 12 (Commutative property of addition)
Divide both sides by 3
[tex]\frac{3y}{3} = -\frac{2}{3} x + \frac{12}{3} \\\\y = -\frac{2}{3} x + 4[/tex](Equality property of division)
2) Write the linear y = -2x - 1 into Ax + By = C
y = -2x - 1 (Given)
Add 2x to both sides
y + 2x = -2x + 2x - 1 (Equality property of addition)
y + 2x = -1
2x + y = -1 (Commutative property of addition)
