How do you find the slope of 3x-y=0?

1 Answer

slope is 3

Explanation:

We can put this linear equation into slope intercept form to find the slope :)

y = mx + b, where

m - the slope

to do this, we want to get positive "y" all alone on one side
so add "y" to both sides of the given equation

3x - y = 0

becomes

3x = y

y = 3x + 0

compared to

y = mx + b

m = 3, therefore the slope is equal to 3
