Math Problem Statement

y=3x+6

Solution

The equation you provided, y=3x+6y = 3x + 6, represents a linear equation in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+by = mx + b, where:

  • mm is the slope of the line (in this case, 3).
  • bb is the y-intercept, or the point where the line crosses the y-axis (in this case, 6).

Key details:

  • The slope of 3 indicates that for every 1 unit increase in xx, yy increases by 3 units.
  • The y-intercept at (0,6)(0, 6) shows that when x=0x = 0, y=6y = 6.

This equation describes a straight line with an upward slope.

Would you like more details or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. What is the graph of the equation y=3x+6y = 3x + 6?
  2. How do we find the x-intercept of the equation?
  3. How does changing the slope affect the line?
  4. Can we find the equation of a line parallel to this one?
  5. What happens if we set y=0y = 0? What is xx?

Tip: The slope of a line represents how steep the line is, and a larger slope means the line rises or falls more quickly.
