Find the slope if it exists x+3y=6

Step 1. We need to put the equation in slope-intercept form given as y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept at x=0 or at point (0,b).

Step 2. Given , then subtract x from both sides of the equation

Divide 3 to both sides of the equation

Step 3. The equation is in slope-intercept form where the slope and the y-intercept .

Step 4. ANSWER: The slope exists.

I hope the above steps were helpful.
