Q. Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.3x+3y=−6Answer:
Subtract 3x: To convert the equation into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), we need to solve for y. Let's start by subtracting 3x from both sides of the equation.3x+3y−3x=−6−3xThis simplifies to:3y=−3x−6
Divide by 3: Now, we divide every term by 3 to isolate y.33y=3−3x−36This simplifies to:y=−x−2
Final Slope-Intercept Form: We have successfully put the equation into slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.In this case, the slope (m) is −1 and the y-intercept (b) is −2.
