I'll do the first one to get you started. Please post one problem at a time.




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


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


3y=-x%2B6 Rearrange the terms.


y=%28-x%2B6%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate y.


y=%28%28-1%29%2F%283%29%29x%2B%286%29%2F%283%29 Break up the fraction.


y=-%281%2F3%29x%2B2 Reduce.


So the equation y=-%281%2F3%29x%2B2 is now in slope intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=-1%2F3 and the y-intercept is b=2 note: the y-intercept is the point


So the answer is m=-1%2F3
