Question

What is 1x+3y=18 in slope intercept form

Answer 1

y=-3x+6

Explanation:

slope int. form is y=mx+b

want to get y by itself, so subtract 1x

so you are left with 3y=-1x+18

then divide 3

left with y=-1/3x+6

simplified is y=-3x+6

Answer 2

y = -x/3 + 6

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Equality Properties

Algebra I

Standard Form: Ax + By = C

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope
• b - y-intercept

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Standard Form: x + 3y = 18

Step 2: Rewrite

Find slope-intercept form

1. Subtract x on both sides: 3y = -x + 18
2. Divide 3 on both sides: y = -x/3 + 6
