6x%2B3y=10 Start with the given equation.


3y=10-6x Subtract 6x from both sides.


3y=-6x%2B10 Rearrange the terms.


y=%28-6x%2B10%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate y.


y=%28%28-6%29%2F%283%29%29x%2B%2810%29%2F%283%29 Break up the fraction.


y=-2x%2B10%2F3 Reduce.


So the equation y=-2x%2B10%2F3 is now in slope intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=-2 and the y-intercept is b=10%2F3 note: the y-intercept is the point
