\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x-y=6\" Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-y=6-2x\" Subtract \"2x\" from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-y=-2x%2B6\" Rearrange the terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28-2x%2B6%29%2F%28-1%29\" Divide both sides by \"-1\" to isolate y.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28%28-2%29%2F%28-1%29%29x%2B%286%29%2F%28-1%29\" Break up the fraction.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=2x-6\" Reduce.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the equation \"y=2x-6\" is now in slope intercept form \"y=mx%2Bb\" where the slope is \"m=2\" and the y-intercept is \"b=-6\" note: the y-intercept is the point
