You can put this solution on YOUR website!

To write any LINEAR equation in slope-intercept form,
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you need only to solve for y!
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x-3y=6\" given
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=3y%2B6\" added 3y to both sides
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x-6=3y\" subtracted 6 from both sides
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2F3-2=y\" divided both sides by 3
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=2x%2F3-2\" which is what we need
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It is now in the slope-intercept form \"y=mx%2Bb\"
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So from our new equation, we know:
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "slope is m which equals 2/3
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y-intercept is b which is -2, or the point (0,-2)
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope this helps! :)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
