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%2B2y=-36\" Start with the given equation


\"6x%2B2y-6x=-36-6x\" Subtract 6x from both sides


\"2y=-6x-36\" Simplify


\"%282y%29%2F%282%29=%28-6x-36%29%2F%282%29\" Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y


\"y+=+%28-6x%29%2F%282%29%2B%28-36%29%2F%282%29\" Break up the fraction on the right hand side


\"y+=+-3x-18\" Reduce and simplify


The original equation \"6x%2B2y=-36\" (standard form) is equivalent to \"y+=+-3x-18\" (slope-intercept form)


The equation \"y+=+-3x-18\" is in the form \"y=mx%2Bb\" where \"m=-3\" is the slope and \"b=-18\" is the y intercept.
