Math Problem Statement

put x - 6y = 2 into slope intercept form

Solution

To convert the equation x6y=2x - 6y = 2 into slope-intercept form, we need to solve for yy.

Steps:

  1. Start with the equation: x6y=2x - 6y = 2

  2. Subtract xx from both sides to isolate the yy-term: 6y=x+2-6y = -x + 2

  3. Divide both sides by -6 to solve for yy: y=x+26y = \frac{-x + 2}{-6}

  4. Simplify the expression: y=16x13y = \frac{1}{6}x - \frac{1}{3}

Final Answer:

The equation in slope-intercept form is: y=16x13y = \frac{1}{6}x - \frac{1}{3}
