Question 524629: what is the slope and y-intercept of -x/2 - 6=3/2y
Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
slope-intercept form is: y = mx+b
.
-x/2 -6 = (3/2)*y
.
(3/2)*y = -x/2 -6
.
multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction of 'y'
.
3y = -x -12
.
divide both sides by 3
.
y = -x/3 -4
.
m = slope = -1/3
.
y-intercept = the point where x=0, which is the point (0,b)
(0,-4)
.
x-intercept = the point where y=0, so set y=0 and solve for 'x'
0 = -x/3 -4
x/3 = -4
x = -12
(-12,0)
.
with two points, you can draw a line
.
