FInd the Slope and y-intercept

3y-x=18

We need to solve for y (y = mx + b):

3y - x = 18

~Add x to both sides

3y = 18 + x

~Divide 3 to everything

y = 6 + x/3 or y = 6 + 1/3/x

So... 1/3 is the slope and 6 is the y-intercept.

Best of Luck!

Answer:

The slope is 1/3 and the y intercept is 6

Explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

3y -x =18

Add x to each side

3y = x+18

Divide each side by 3

3y/3 = x/3 +18/3

y = 1/3x +6

The slope is 1/3 and the y intercept is 6
