Question

The equation of a line is given below.

-6x-2y=2
Find the slope and the y-intercept.
Then use them to graph the line.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given equation:

• - 6x - 2y = 2

Simplify and convert into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):

• - 6x - 2y = 2
• -3x - y = 1
• y = - 3x - 1

The slope is m = -3, the y-intercept is b = -1
