Question

Change the following equation int y=mx+b form. Then tell me what the y-intercept and rate of change is. 3x+2y=12

Expert Solution
Step 1

Here equation of a line is given we have to change the given equation in to the slope- intercept form ( y=mx+b).

In y=mx+b, 

m= rate of change or slope of the line.

b= y- intercept of the line( where the line touches the y axis)
