how do you put an equation in to slope intercept form x+2y=6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well what is slope-intercept form?

OpenStudy (mitu12):

y=mx+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes and how would we get x on the other side?

OpenStudy (mitu12):

subtract x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so now you have \[2y=-x+6\] how do i isolate y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the 2 is being multiplied by y

OpenStudy (mitu12):

you divide 2y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes do i divide everything?

OpenStudy (mitu12):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how we would graph that?

OpenStudy (mitu12):

you first plot the 3 then rise 1 and run 2

OpenStudy (mitu12):

thank you so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
