The equation of a line ax + by + c = 0 can be converted into
slope-intercept form as y = m*x + c where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept. If the line is
converted to the form x/a + y/b = 1, it is in intercept-intercept form with a and b being the x
and y intercepts respectively.
The line we have here is 3x - 4y - 12
= 0
3x - 4y - 12 = 0
=> 4y = 3x
- 12
=> y = (3/4)x - 3
the slope
is 3/4 and the y-intercept is -3
3x - 4y - 12 =
0
=> 3x - 4y = 12
=>
(3/12)x + (-4/12)y = 1
=> x/4 - y/3 =
1
The x intercept is 4 and the y-intercept is
-3
The equation in the slope-intercept form is y =
(3/4)x - 3 and in the intercept-intercept form is x/4 - y/3 =
1
