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 = 1/2; y intercept at (0, 15)
slope = 1/2; y intercept at (0, 9)

re arrange in slope interecept form
y=...

OpenStudy (anonymous):
make the equation y= so how would you get y by itself?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
subtract 6 from both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
correct...keep going.

after I do that then what do i do?
OpenStudy (shamim):
slope intercept form of a line is\[y=mx+c\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no no wait 6x you subtract 6x making one side -3y=-6x+12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and then how would you get y by itself?
OpenStudy (shamim):
\[6x-3y=12\]

subtract -3 from both sides?
OpenStudy (shamim):
\[3y=6x-12\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no... divide.
OpenStudy (shamim):
\[y=2x-4\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what is 12/-3 and what is -6x/-3?

OpenStudy (shamim):
now compare this equation with \[y=mx+c\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4 and 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
correct (:
OpenStudy (shamim):
\[m=2,c=-4\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the answer is A?
