for y=3x-6
What is the slope?
This equation is in slope intercept form:highlight%28y=mx%2Bb%29, m=slope, (0,b)=y-intercept.
y=highlight%283%29x-6
The slope, m=3.
What is the Y intercept?
y=3x%2Bhighlight%28-6%29
The y-intercept, (0,b)=(0,-6).
What is the x intercept?
The x-intercept is found by letting y=0 and solving for x.
0=3x-6
0+6=3x-6+6
6=3x+0
6=3x
6/3=3x/3
2=x
The x-intercept is (2,0)
