How do you write the equation x+3y=6 in slope-intercept form?
Answered by Brianna
y=2-x
or
y= -x+2

its the same thing
Answered by Chopsticks
y-1/3x + 2
Answered by Chopsticks
Sorry typo

The answer is

y = -1/3x + 2
Answered by Chopsticks
Brianna, I do not think switching the order of the x will make it the same.

The formula for slope intercept form is

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope
Answered by Angie
which one is the right answer??
Answered by Chopsticks
y = -1/3x + 2
Answered by Brianna
oops i double checked my answer and chopsticks is right,

its y=-1/3x+2
Answered by Brianna
but to correct you, you are able to switch them around


2+3=5
and
3+2=5

its the same thing
-1/3 is the slope and 2 is the intercept
Answered by Angie
ok thanks
Answered by Chopsticks
Your right. That is the property of addition, but the problem asks us for slope intercept form.
Answered by Brianna
I guess it depends on the teacher
mine doesnt care which way you put it because its both the same thing when you graph it out
