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

Question

ivettef365 · Answer

just isolate the y, so the problem looks like this  y = mx + b

m = slope
b = y-int

anonymous · Answer

lol idk, can you explain to me and give me the answer

ivettef365 · Answer

yes, I could explain

anonymous · Answer

okay

ivettef365 · Answer

6x -3y = 12
6x -6x -3y = -6x + 12
            -3y = -6x + 12
           ---     ---   ---
           -3         -3   -3

ivettef365 · Answer

so you have y = 2x -4

anonymous · Answer

Given eq is 6x - 3y = 12. 
therefore 6x-12 = 3y 
or 3y = 6x-12 
or y = 2x-4 comparinf it with y=mx+c we find slope m=2

ivettef365 · Answer

now can you tell what is the slope and y -int

anonymous · Answer

whats the answer

ivettef365 · Answer

can you tell what is the answer you have

y = 2x - 4      compare to formula  y = mx + b

m = slope
b = y-int

anonymous · Answer

idk what to do.

ivettef365 · Answer

ok what is in the position of m ??

ivettef365 · Answer

maybe you see it better this way

  y   =  (m)  x  (+  b)

  y    =  (2)   x  (-  4)

anonymous · Answer

good explaining ivette

ivettef365 · Answer

thanks

anonymous · Answer

okay i got the answer.next question Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form with a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of -2

ivettef365 · Answer

ok same way you have the formula

y  =  m x + b       just plug m= slope = 3 and b = y-int = -2

anonymous · Answer

you can do this tevonn
