What is the slope and y-intercept of the equation 3(y − 2) + 6(x + 1) − 2 = 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Get it into y = mx + b form by solving for y. Start by distributing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m will be the slope, b is the y-intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First, distribute everything.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to use the distributive property first and then put it into slope-intercept form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Agreed. There is a specific form for finding slope and y-intercept. This is called the slope-intercept for, which @peachpi has stated.

I distributed the 3 by mulitiplying both terms in parentheses by 3. Now distribute the 6 in the 2nd parentheses. |dw:1437354317676:dw|
