Question

Which equation shows 2x – y = 6 converted to slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

The converted form will be y = x - 6/2 or it could be written as y = x - 3/1

Answer 2

The general equation for slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m = the slope of the equation, b = the y intercept, and x and y are your variables (and the coordinate points on the graph).

To get 2x - y = 6 into slope intercept form, you want a positive y on one side of the equal sign, and x and your y intercept/constant on the other side of the equal sign.
1) Add y to both sides of the equation to get a positive y:

`2x - y = 6\\ 2x = y + 6`

2) Subtract six from both sides of the equation to get y by itself on one side of the equal sign:

`2x = y + 6\\ y = 2x - 6`

The equation in slope-intercept form is: y = 2x - 6
