Question

What is the slope and y-intercept of the graph of 3x + 6y = 36?

slope = -2; y-intercept = (0, 36)

slope = -2; y-intercept = (0, 6)

slope = 6; y-intercept = (0, -1/3)

slope = -1/3; y-intercept = (0, 6)


I tried the intercepts method, but I got 12 for x, and that's not a choice.

Answer 1

See to find the slope and the y-intercept of a line
ALWAYS right it in the standard form of
y=mx+b
So this equation can also be written as
y=-1/2x+6
So the slope should be
-1/2 and the y intercept
should be (0,6)
Understood? :)
