3x-2y=6 find the slope-intercept form
Solution
To find the slope-intercept form of the equation , we need to rearrange it into the form , where is the slope and is the y-intercept.
Steps:
-
Start with the given equation:
-
Isolate the -term on one side. Subtract from both sides:
-
Solve for by dividing both sides of the equation by :
