Question

Given the equation 6x - 2y = 18 in standard form. Show how you would convert the equation into slope-intercept form → y = mx + b. You must show your work to receive full credit. (3 points)

Answer 1

Answer y = 3x-9

Explanation:

This is the expression

`6x-2y=18`

This is what we want to convert to

`y =mx+b`

We plug the values into the formula.

`-2y=-6x+18`

Divide by -2 to get rid of -2 in front of y

`(-2y=-6x+18)/(-2)`

Solve where possible

`y = (-6)/(-2)x+(18)/(-2)`

Result

`y = 3x-9`
