What is the slope and y-intercept for 2x+y=6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you identify what "slope" means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Think of a skateboarding ramp, or a hill. One end is higher than the other, creating a change in degrees, which is also referred to as slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right. You can think of it as the change in the y values over the change in x values, commonly referred to as rise over run. The y-intercept is obviously where the graph intercepts the y-axis. What variations of the equation can help you identify those values?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would recommend isolating the y.
