Question

What is the equation of the line x-3y=18?

Answer 1

y =
`(1)/(3)`x - 6

Explanation:

To convert it to slope-intercept form, we need to get the y by itself on one side of the equation.

x - 3y = 18

-3y = 18 - x --- subtract x from both sides

y = -6 +
`(1)/(3)`x --- divide both sides by -3

y =
`(1)/(3)`x - 6 --- re-organize

Answer 2

you have: x-3y=18

You want to convert it into slope-intercept form or y=mx+b form-->>>

x-3y=18

Isolate the variable-->>

x-3y=18
-x -x

-3y=-x+18

Now simply divide...

\frac{-3y}{-3} = \frac{-x+18}{-3}−3−3y​=−3−x+18​

y=\frac{1}{3}x -631​x−6

Thus, your answer.
