Answer 2

with an algebraic manipulations make this equation look like y=mx+b then slope will be m, or just diferentiate w.r.t. x and thats it.

Answer 3

@skullpatrol that is so meaan

Answer 4

@DavidUsa lol ikr

Answer 5

@le0n what is w.r.t ? :/ n sorry for asking so many questions im just so overwhelmed..

Answer 6

with respect to

Answer 7

its an abriviation

Answer 8

Make the coefficient in front of the y equal to "1". What do we need to divide the whole thing by to make this happen? Once you do this, move the variable x to the other side of the equation. Look at the coefficient in front of the x variable. That's your slope.

Answer 9

Hint: Divide everything by -2. Now the coefficient in front of the y variable is "1". Divide all the other numbers by -2 also.

Answer 10

We have: \(\Large 2x - 2y = 6\): Divide both sides by -2
\( \Large {2x - 2y\over -2} = \dfrac 6 {-2} \)
\( \Large \dfrac{2x}{-2} +y = \dfrac 6 {-2} \): Now we have y with a 1 coefficient
Now what happens to the coeficient in front of the x variable? That is, what's its value
Move that variable to the other side of the equation.

Then just look what happened to the x coefficient. That's your slope.

Answer 11

Does this make sense?

Answer 12

\(\Large y = \dfrac 6 {-2}+\dfrac{2x}{2} \): Here's your answer, just simplify the coefficient in front of the x and you're done.
