Question 662456:  What is the slope of this linear equation:-2y+12x=18?
 
 
 Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! To find the slope, first set up the equation to solve for y 
Starting with  
-2y+12x=18
 
Subtract 12x from both sides 
-2y=-12x + 18
 
Divide both sides by -2 
y= 6x - 9
 
Using the linear equation y=mx+b, where m is slope, 
the slope in the equation is 6
