Question

How do you find the slope and y intercept for `3y = -6x + 9`?

Answer 1

Slope = -2

y-intercept = 3

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form is `y=mx+b` (m = slope and b = y-intercept)

We have to rearrange `3y=-6x+9` into slope-intercept form:

`3y=-6x+9` (Divide both sides by 3)

`y=-2x+3`

Slope = -2 (which is m)
y-intercept = 3 (which is b)
