HELPPP MEMEMEME!!!! What is the equation of the line x–3y=18
in slope-intercept form?
Drag and drop the appropriate number, symbol, or variable to each box.
X, Y, -18, -9, -3, -1, 1/3,6 , 9 ,18, +, -, =.

i dont know how to
OpenStudy (idkwut):
You have to turn the equation into y= form. It's basic algebra from there
OpenStudy (trumpdonald):
subtract x
OpenStudy (trumpdonald):
how?
OpenStudy (idkwut):
OK good.
x-3y = 18
x-x - 3y = 18 - x
3y = 18 - x
Take it from here.

How do we get y by itself?
OpenStudy (trumpdonald):
um.....we take away x?
OpenStudy (idkwut):
Slope intercept formula is y = mx + b
OpenStudy (idkwut):
You now need to get Y by itself.
OpenStudy (trumpdonald):
do you subtract y like x?

When a number is next to a variable, it is being multiplied. 3y is the same as saying 3 * Y
OpenStudy (trumpdonald):
ya but what is y i dont get how to subtract or mulitply stuff like that
OpenStudy (idkwut):
What is the opposite of multiplication?
OpenStudy (trumpdonald):
dividing
OpenStudy (idkwut):
yes. so now you basically just divide both sides by 3.

slope-intercept form: y = mx + b where m = the slope and b = the y-intercept
OpenStudy (trumpdonald):
i still dont know whatd going on
OpenStudy (idkwut):
starting from where?
OpenStudy (trumpdonald):
give meh the answeeeerrrr
OpenStudy (trumpdonald):
:)
