Question

Identify the correct slope and y intercept of the equation 6x - 3y = 12.

slope = 2; y intercept at (0, -4)

slope = -2; y intercept at (0, 4)

slope = one half; y intercept at (0, 15)

slope = one half; y intercept at (0, 9)

Answer 1

we go from standard form to slope intercept form...y=mx + b

6x - 3y = 12

-3y = 12 - 6x

y = 12/-3 + 6x/3

y = -4 + 2x

I get slope is 2 and y intercept is (0,-4)
