Question

Identify the correct slope and y-intercept: of the equation 2x + 3y = 6?

Answer 1

if you can re arrange to the form y=mx+b
the slope will be m
and the y-intercept will be b

Answer 2

and wats the procidure to solve it?

Answer 3

2x + 3y = 6

minus 2x form both sides,

then divide both sides by three

Answer 4

...

y=

Answer 5

do i divide the 2x by 3 or 6 divided by 3?

Answer 6

take away 2x first
2x-2x + 3y = 6-2x
then divide by three

Answer 7

i knw i did that already but when i divide do i divide both numbers or jst 2x?

Answer 8

(6-2x)/3 = 6/3 - 2x/3

Answer 9

ohh ok that makes sence so the righ answer would be -2/3 y-intercept; (0,2) am i right?

Answer 10

yes thats right the slope m=-2/3

and b is 2, so the y-intercept is at the point (0,2) ,

Answer 11

ok thanks
