Question

What is the slope and y-intercept of the graph of 3x + 6y = 36?

slope=-2;y-intercept = (0,36)
slope=-2;y-intercept = (0,6)
slope=6;y-intercept = (0,-1/2)
slope=-1/2;y-intercept= (0,6)

Answer 2

Hi

Answer 3

First isolate y in that equation so that you can analyze its behavior as x changes.

Answer 4

Put the equation into slope intercept, and then you'll have your answer .

Answer 5

hmmm....

Answer 6

It would look something like y=-(1/2)x+6

Answer 7

The number before x is your slope, and the last number is your y inercept.

Answer 8

Well.... Does that answer your question?

Answer 9

is it C?

Answer 10

@zordoloom is correct, but do you understand why it is like that? Do you understand what these numbers mean?

Answer 11

is it C?

Answer 12

No, it is not.

Answer 13

then its D. lol

Answer 14

The slope of a function is how many units y increase when you increase x by one unit, and the y-intercept is the point that the function crosses the y axis, and x is always 0 at this point.
The slope intercept form of a function is y=ax+b, and now you can see that if we increase x by one unit, the function will increase or decrease by a units. If we put x=0, wich is the condition for the y-intercept, we get that y=b, and the point is (0, b) is it better to understand?
And yes D is correct.
