Algebra.Com's Answer #317497 by algebrahouse.com(1659)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b \n" ); document.write( "m is the slope {rise over run} \n" ); document.write( "b is the y-intercept {where the line crosses the y-axis}\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x + 3y = 6 \n" ); document.write( "3y = -2x + 6 {subtracted 2x from both sides} \n" ); document.write( "y = (-2/3)x + 2 {divided both sides by 3} \n" ); document.write( "slope = -2/3 \n" ); document.write( "y-intercept = 2\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To graph: \n" ); document.write( "- put a point on 2, on the y-axis \n" ); document.write( "- from there, the slope is -2/3, so go down 2 and to the right 3 and put another point \n" ); document.write( "- draw a line through the two points \n" ); document.write( " For more help from me, visit: www.algebrahouse.com \n" ); document.write( " |
