Question

Write the equation of the line 1x + 3y = 6 in y = mx + b form.

Answer 1

`y=-(x)/(3)+2`

Explanation:

1x + 3y = 6

We want the y to be isolated, so we subtract x from both sides,

3y = 6 - x

Now we divide everything by 3, to isolate y

`y=-(x)/(3)+2`

Answer 2

y = -1/3x + 2

Explanation:

1x + 3y = 6

3y = -x + 6

y = -1/3x + 2
