Question

Write the linear equation 3y=6x−18
in slope-intercept form.(1 point)
and thw answer is not 2x - 6

Answer 1

To convert the equation \(3y = 6x - 18\) into slope-intercept form, which is \(y = mx + b\) (where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept), follow these steps:

1. Start with the given equation:
\[
3y = 6x - 18
\]

2. Divide every term by 3 to solve for \(y\):
\[
y = \frac{6}{3}x - \frac{18}{3}
\]

3. Simplify the fractions:
\[
y = 2x - 6
\]

So, the slope-intercept form of the equation is:
\[
y = 2x - 6
\]
