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):

confuseedd

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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):

\[6x-3y=12\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol oops not correct 4 is negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem(:
