2y = 4x - 6

We need to write an equation in the form

y = mx + b, m-slope, b- y-intercept.

2y = 4x - 6

y = 2x - 3

m=2 is a slope

y-int. = -3

Hello!

To find this, we will first want to solve for y.

We divide both sides by 2.

y=2x-3

As you can see, in the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -3.

I hope this helps!
