Question

What is the slope of the line –6y + 2x = 18 in simplest form?

Answer 1

is it 1/3 ?

Answer 2

@Brostep0s

Answer 3

one moment please.

Answer 4

do you need it in slope intercept form?

Answer 5

idk

Answer 6

I'll give it to you in both then.. ;)
\[y=\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }x-3\]

Answer 7

\[2x-6y=18\]

Answer 8

so it is 1/3

Answer 9

you were correct in saying that the slope was 1/3

Answer 10

yay?

Answer 11

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation?

y = 7x + 2

Answer 12

m=7, y=2 where m is the slope and y is the y-intercept.

Answer 13

ok hold on

Answer 14

ok so?

Answer 15

so what?

Answer 16

im confused -_-

Answer 17

I'll walk you through it... what are you confused about? I'm here, and I have plenty of time.

Answer 19

umm... hold on i think im stuck on... ALL OF IT!!! D:

Answer 20

I'll start with the first one then.. ok?

Answer 21

ok

Answer 22

The slope of a vertical line is undefined

This is because any vertical line has a Δx or "run" of zero. Whenever zero is the denominator of the fraction in this case of the fraction representing the slope of a line, the fraction is undefined. The picture below shows a vertical line (x=1)

The slope of a horizontal line is zero

This is because any horizontal line has a Δy or "rise" of zero. Therefore, regardless of what the run is (provided its' not also zero!), the fraction representing slope has a zero in its numerator. Therefore, the slope must evaluate to zero. Below is a picture of a horizontal line--you can see that it does not have any 'rise' to it.

Answer 23

The slope of a line characterizes the general direction in which a line points. To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of a point on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates.
