Question

X+2y=6

What is y intercept and slope

Answer 1

m= -1/2

b= (0,3)

Explanation:

1st. rewrite the equation into y=mx+b

x+2y=6 --> 2y=-x+6

2nd. make the y just y instead of 2y by dividing

2y=-x+6 --> y=-1x/2+3

3rd. compare y=mx+b

m= slope

b= y intercept

m would be -1/2

b would be 3 or (0,3)

Answer 2

Starting with the equation x+2y=6 and subtracting x from both sides gives 2y = -x + 6.

If we then divide each term by 2, we get the final result of y = -1/2x + 3.

Here we see that the slope is equal to -1/2, and the y-intercept is 3
