Question 81944: find the slope and y intercept
-2y = x - 6
Answer by bucky(2189) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Given:
.
-2y = x - 6
.
To find the slope and the y-intercept, rearrange the equation into the slope-intercept form,
which is:
.
y = mx + b
.
In other words solve the given equation for y in terms of x. When you do, m (the multiplier
of the x term) is the slope, and b is the value on the y-axis where the graph crosses.
.
Start with the given equation:
.
-2y = x - 6
.
Divide both sides by the multiplier of y (-2) so that you just have y on the left side.
.
.
Note that the equation is in the slope intercept form.
.
From this you can see that the multiplier of the x term is and this is the slope.
The value of b is +3 so the graph crosses the y-axis at +3.
.
Hope this helps you with understanding the problem and with one method of solving it.
