Question

The equation of a line is -2x6y=-18. find the slope and the y-intercept. Then use them to graph the line.

Answer 1

Slope=
`(1)/(3)` and Y intercept=-3

Explanation:

-2x + 6y = -18

Simplifying the equation,

6y = 2x - 18

`y=(x)/(3)-3`

A general line can be written as,

y=mx + c

, m= Slope of the line

c=y intercept of the line

Y intercept is basically the point where the line intersects, the y axis or the line x=0.

Therefore, from the above data m=
`(1)/(3)`

and Y intercept= -3.
