Solving that equation for y
y=-12/ x-1

I believe that the y intercept should be 0. if you have a graphing calculator it would be easy to see but the equation should work out to be (step by step)
xy+5=y-7
xy-y=-12
y(x-1)=-12
y= -12/(x-1)
thats the answer in slope-intercept form. So the y-intercept should be zero but plug that final equation into a graphing calculator and check it.

xy + 5 = y - 7
xy - y = -7 -5
y (x-1) = -12 {undefined at x=1}
set x = 0
y(-1) = -12
y = 12

To get the y-intercept, set x = 0 and get y = 5

I think it may be this....
xy+5= y-7
xy+12= y
x+12= 2 y
x+12= y

this is not the equation for a line

um, I forgot how to do these but lemme see... I think it's unsolvable, but I'm probably wrong. eh-hehe, I did these last year so now my brain is broken.
