Question

Sometimes linear equations are written in forms other than y=mx+b . One common form looks like Ax+By=C .When you see an equation like this, you can find the slope and y-intercept by solving the equation for y, rewriting it into slope-intercept form.Rewrite 6x+2y=6 into slope-intercept form by solving for y.y=______From that we can see that:m=____b=____

Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided equation, we are going to rewriting it into slope-intercept form. So we obtain the following:

6x+2y=6

2y=-6x+6

y=(-6x+6)/2

y=-3x+3

Finally we obtain that the equation of the line is slope-intercept form is y=-3x+3. Then replacing in y=mx+b, we have:

y=-3x+3

y=mx+b

Then, m=-3 and b=3.
