Question 1123146: Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line whose equation is given.
15 x plus 3 y equals 6
15x+3y=6
The slope is
nothing
. (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.) Found 2 solutions by Boreal, ikleyn:Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! move the x to the right
3y=-15x+6
divide everything by -3 to have 1 y on the left
y=-5x+2
the slope is the coefficient of x, -5
the y-intercept is the constant, +2
The equation is equivalent to
y = = -5x + 2.
The slope is the coefficient at x in this form, i.e. -5.
y-intercept is the value of "y" when x= 0, i.e. -5*0+ 2 = 2.
