Question

How would 2X - 2Y - 6 = 0 be

written in slope-intercept form?

A. 2X - 2Y = 6
B. -2Y = 2X = 6
C. Y=X - 3
D. Y = -2X - 3
E. Y = x + 3

Answer 1

D. Y= -2x - 3

Explanation:

The reason the answer is D is because it is the reverse form of standard. D shows that the form of slope-intercept for is y=mx + b.

Answer 2

C. Y=X - 3

Explanation:

`2X - 2Y - 6 = 0\\\mathbf{y=mx+b}\:\mathrm{is\:the\:slope\:intercept\:form\:of\:a\:line\:where}\: \mathbf{m}\:\mathrm{is\:the\:slope\:and}\:\mathbf{b}\:\mathrm{is\:the}\:\mathbf{y}\:\mathrm{intercept}\\\mathrm{For\:a\:line\:in\:the\:form\:of\:}\mathbf{y=mx+b}\mathrm{,\:the\:slope\:is}\:\mathbf{m}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathbf{y}\:\mathrm{intercept\:is}\:\mathbf{b}\\\\Y=X-3`
