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)
