Question

–x + 6y = 30
y = -1/6 x + 5
how do I identify the slope and the y-intercept of the equation for the second one and change the equation into slope-intercept form for the first one?


I will do the rest on my own thanks

Answer 1

the slope-intercept form
y = mx+b is so called because you can read off the slope and y-intercept directly from the equation: slope=m, intercept=b.

to chane to slope-intercept, just solve for y:

-x+6y = 30
6y = x+30
y = 1/6 x + 5
now you have y=mx+b as needed.
