What is the slope of the line 6x-3y=54?
First put the equation in slope intercept form:highlight%28y=mx%2Bb%29, where m=slope and b=y-intercept.
6x-3y=54
-6x+6x-3y=-6x+54
-3y=-6x+54
-3y%2F-3=-6x%2F-3%2B54%2F-3
y=2x-18
y=highlight%282%29x-18 The slope is the coefficient of x.
highlight%28m=2%29
Happy Calculating!!!
