Question

Reduce the following equations into slope - intercept form and find their slopes and the y - intercepts. 6x + 3y – 5 = 0

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Slope – intercept form is represented in the form ‘y = mx + c’, where m is the slope and c is the y intercept

Given equation is 6x + 3y – 5 = 0

⇒ 3y = -6x + 5

The above equation is of the form y = mx + c, where m = -2 and c = 5/3.
