Give the slope and y-intercept of the given line.
1. 2x-3y=6
= 3y = 2x-6
y = 2/3 x - 2
2. y=-2x
= 2/1x + 1
3. y=3
= y=3/1x + 3
3y = 2x-6
y = 2/3 x - 2
Get all equations in the form y = m*x + b. Once it's in this form, m is the slope, b is the y intercept.
1.
2x-3y=6
2x - 6 = 3y
y = 2/3x - 2
The slope is 2/3, the y intercept is -2
2. y=-2x
y = -2x + 0
The slope is -2, the y-intercept is 0.
3. y = 3
y = 0*x + 3
The slope is 0, the y-intercept is 3.
