Question

Find the slope of the line 6x – 2y = 6

Answer 1

`6x-2y=6`
To find the slope of the line, you need to find what y equals first
You must move around the numbers around until you get only y on one side of the equal sign.

`6x-6x-2y=6-6x`

`-2y=6-6x`
Then, you "isolate" y from every number

`(-2y)/(-2) = (6-6x)/(2)`
Therefore, you have the slope:

`y=3-3x` or in slope/line formula (y=mx+b)

`y=-3x+3`
In the slope/line formula: x is the slope so therefore the slope of
`6x-2y=6`
is 3
