6x-4y=24
Slope-Intercept Form:y=mx%2Bb where m is a slope and b is y-intercept
6x-4y=24......solve for y
6x-24=4y
6x%2F4-24%2F4=y
y=%283%2F2%29x-6
so, the slope is 3%2F2 and y-intercept is -6

Your answers are INCORRECT, and even if they weren't, in most cases they would NOT be acceptable since they've NOT been reduced to their lowest terms.



First thing to do is FACTOR out the GCF, which is 2, to get: 3x - 2y = 12

3x - 12 = 2y ------ Adding 2y and subtracting 12 to/from both sides

 ---- Dividing each side by 2 to ISOLATE y
