Will Fan and Medal!! Write the equation 2x - 3y = 6 in slope-intercept form. y = x + 3 y = x + 3 y = x - 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=mx-c

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Hello! Welcome to OpenStudy! For slope-intercept form, we need to get y by itself on the left side of the equal sign. Do you know what we should do first? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No not really, my weakest point is math is this is where I'm always stuck... :( do you subtract 2x from both sides?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yes! That gives us -3y = -2x + 6 Now, what will get y by itself?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

+3?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Close, -3y is the same as -3 * y, what is the opposite of multiplication?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh so divide

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yes! Divide everything by -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay -3y = -2X =6 ------------- -3 y= 2/3x -2?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Exactly! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank You!

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

No problem :) Good job :3
