Question

slope m= ?       -6x+3y=0 can some help x,y for  
my graph.  tks

anonymous · Answer

rearrange your equation into general form y=mx+c which m is the slope.

anonymous · Answer

I dont understand, cause it written then we have to follow the formula but it doesnt come out 6$$-6_{0}+3y=0$$                      x      y
                                                                0    -6
I'm just confused as to what formula to use so I can have coordinates to point on the graph

anonymous · Answer

As melor said, write the equation in the form y=mx+c. m then will be the slope. To do so, first move 6x to the other side, you get:
$$3y=6x$$
Now, divide both sides by 3, you will have:$${3y \over 3}={6x \over 3} \implies y=2x$$
So the equation is y=2x+0. What is the slope?

anonymous · Answer

its     -6x+3y=0

anonymous · Answer

I know. I just rearranged the equation to the form y=2x. The slope is now the coefficient of x, which is 2.

anonymous · Answer

-6x+3y=0, 
bring -6x to the right hand side,
3y=6x,
divide all by 3,
y=2x.

compare what you have with the general form y=mx+c,
m=2, y=0 since there is no terms after x :)

anonymous · Answer

sorry, not y=0, it's c=0 :) which c is the y-intercept.

anonymous · Answer

tks i'm going try using the formula

anonymous · Answer

you should be familiar with the general form of a straight line, it helps you alot in searching for gradient or y-intercept :)
