To find the y-intercept and slope of the line, we need to rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Given equation:
-6x + 2y = 4
First, isolate y by adding 6x to both sides:
2y = 6x + 4
Divide by 2 to get y by itself:
y = 3x + 2
Now we can see that the slope of the line is 3 (the coefficient of x) and the y-intercept is 2.
Thus, the y-intercept is 2, and the slope is 3.
Find the y-intercept and the slope of the line.
