Write the coordinate of the intercept 2 (6y - 4x) = 24

slope m =

y-intercept =

Please show work.

m = 2/3

y-intercept: 2

Explanation:

First convert this equation into standard form by distributing the 6y and -4x from the coefficient of 2, and then putting the variables in order.

This equation should be in the form: Ax + By = C (Standard form)

y = -Ax/B + C/B : y = mx + b (Slope intercept form)

2(6y - 4x) = 24 → 12y - 8x = 24

→ -8x + 12y = 24 → -8x = -12y + 24 → 8x = 12y - 24 → 8x - 12y = -24

8x - 12y = -24

A B C

Once you have standard form, you are ready to convert this into slope intercept by isolating the y completely.

8x - 12y = -24

-8x -8x

(First through the subtraction property of equality, remove 8x from both sides so that -12y is by itself on the left)

-12y = -8x - 24

×-1 ×-1 ×-1

(Through the identity property of negative 1, remove the negative sign from all of the numbers because a negative times a negative is a positive)

12y = 8x + 24

(Lastly, through the division property of equality, divide all sides by 12 because it is the coefficient of y, which will solve for the variable)
