Answer 2

try to get the equation to become in slope intercept from, so you can visibly see the slope
slope intercept form is y=mx+b
where m is the slope.

Answer 3

–6y + 2x = 18
change it to y=mx+b
that means that the equation should be set to equal to y
–6y + 2x = 18
subtract 2x from both sides
–6y = 18-2x
divide -6 to both sides

Answer 4

Makes sense? @FateRocks8D , can you continue working on your problem now?

Answer 5

a lil bit o.o thx @Zale101

Answer 6

This problem basically wants you to do algebra to solve for y

Answer 7

my answer would be 1/3?

Answer 8

Correct.
–6y = 18-2x
\(\Large \frac{–6}{-6}y = \frac{18}{-6}-\frac{2}{-6}x\)
\(\large y=-3+\frac{2}{6}x\)
2/6 is reduced to 1/3 --> \(\large y=\frac{1}{3}x-3\) Slope is 1/3

YAY! Good job :)

Answer 10

Thank you :) !!! @Zale101

Answer 11

Sorry, i wont bring up the question. I was just recalling the methods in algebra before learning slope equations.

Answer 12

To make it look more simpler for you

Answer 13

No problem! :)

Answer 14

well, thanks :D !
I could kiss u if I can xD
