Question

For this question -2x + y = 6, find the slope and y intercept, and write the equation in slope intercept form.

Answer 1

The y intercept is the By. So what is the value that is placed in front of y?

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

Is this right

Answer 4

Woops, I think i did something wrong. Hold on.

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

Ok yeah we have to convert this equation to slope-intercept form. Do you know what slope intercept form is?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

y=mx +b

Answer 9

Yup, do you know how we will be converting -2x + y = 6 into slope-intercept form?

Answer 10

Do have to subtract from the equation

Answer 11

I mean the y

Answer 12

Well we have to isolate it, as in take -2x and put it n the other side to leave the y by itself and match it with y = mx + b. Do you know what the first step is?

Answer 13

Add -2x to each side of the equation

Answer 14

Yes.

Answer 15

is this the first step

Answer 16

Yup.

Answer 17

y= 2x + 6

Answer 18

Yup!

Now we know that is the slope and b is the y intercept, so with this can you answer your initial question?

Answer 19

Pardon, m is the slope.

Answer 20

ok

Answer 21

So what is the slope and the y-intercept?

Answer 22

That was the part i was stuck on

Answer 23

Well let's look.
y = mx + b
y = 2x + 6
m = ?
b = ?

Answer 24

M=2
b=6

Answer 25

is this right

Answer 26

Yes!

Answer 27

So M = slope and b = y-intercept, which should give you your answer.

Answer 28

y= 2x +6

Answer 29

Yes.
