Question

What is the equation of the line x–3y=18in slope-intercept form?

Drag and drop the appropriate number, symbol, or variable to each box.

Answer 1

`y=(1)/(3) x-6`

Explanation:

Write down the slope-intercept form:

`y=mx+b`

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

To turn the equation into slope-intercept form, isolate y on the left-hand side:

`x-3y=18\\-3y=18-x\\y=-6+(x)/(3) \\`

Rearrange the equation a bit:

`y=(1)/(3) x-6`
