Question

Will Fan and Medal!!

Write the equation 2x - 3y = 6 in slope-intercept form.

y = x + 3
y = x + 3
y = x - 2

Answer 1

y=mx-c

Answer 2

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? :)

Answer 3

No not really, my weakest point is math is this is where I'm always stuck... :(

do you subtract 2x from both sides?

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

+3?

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

Oh so divide

Answer 8

Yes! Divide everything by -3

Answer 9

Okay -3y = -2X =6
-------------
-3

y= 2/3x -2?

Answer 10

Exactly! :)

Answer 11

Thank You!

Answer 12

No problem :) Good job :3
