Question

Find the slope and y-intercept of the line given by -6x - 2y = 18

Answer 1

Explanation:

We do this by converting to slope intercept form, which is

y = mx + c where m = slope and c = y-intercept.

-6y - 2y = 18

-2y = 6y + 18

Now divide through by -2:

y = -3x - 9

So the slope is -3 and y-intercept is at (0, -9)
