Question

How do you find the slope and intercept of `-2x + y = 6`?

Answer 1

we get `x=0,y=6` and `x=-3,y=0` and the slope is given by `m=2`

Explanation:

Writing your equation in the form
`y=2x+6` then you will get all the asked values.

Answer 2

`"slope "=2," y-intercept "=6`

Explanation:

`"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"` is.

`•color(white)(x)y=mx+b`

`"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"`

`"rearrange "-2x+y=6" into this form"`

`"add "2x" to both sides"`

`y=2x+6larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"`

`"with slope "=2" and y-intercept "=6`
