\n" ); document.write( " $\"-x%2B3y=6\"$ Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"3y=6%2Bx\"$ Add $\"x\"$ to both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"3y=x%2B6\"$ Rearrange the terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%28x%2B6%29%2F%283%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"3\"$ to isolate y.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%28%281%29%2F%283%29%29x%2B%286%29%2F%283%29\"$ Break up the fraction.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%281%2F3%29x%2B2\"$ Reduce.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the equation $\"y=%281%2F3%29x%2B2\"$ is now in slope intercept form $\"y=mx%2Bb\"$ where the slope is $\"m=1%2F3\"$ and the y-intercept is $\"b=2\"$ note: the y-intercept is the point
