Solved by pluggable solver: Converting Linear Equations in Standard form to Slope-Intercept Form (and vice versa)
Convert from standard form (Ax+By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx+b)


\"6x-3y=36\" Start with the given equation


\"6x-3y-6x=36-6x\" Subtract 6x from both sides


\"-3y=-6x%2B36\" Simplify


\"%28-3y%29%2F%28-3%29=%28-6x%2B36%29%2F%28-3%29\" Divide both sides by -3 to isolate y


\"y+=+%28-6x%29%2F%28-3%29%2B%2836%29%2F%28-3%29\" Break up the fraction on the right hand side


\"y+=+2x-12\" Reduce and simplify


The original equation \"6x-3y=36\" (standard form) is equivalent to \"y+=+2x-12\" (slope-intercept form)


The equation \"y+=+2x-12\" is in the form \"y=mx%2Bb\" where \"m=2\" is the slope and \"b=-12\" is the y intercept.
