To find the slope (m) and y-intercept, the equation needs to be in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. Rearranging $-x + 12y = 60$ to this form gives $12y = x + 60$, or $y = \frac{1}{12}x + 5$. Thus, the slope $m = \frac{1}{12}$ and the y-intercept is at (0,5).

Find the Slope and the Y-Intercept - −x+12y=60- x + 12 y = 60−x+12y=60
