Question
Reduce the following equation into slope-intercept form and find their slopes and the y-intercepts.
6x + 3y – 5 = 0
Solution
The given equation is 6x + 3y – 5 = 0.
It can be written as
y = `1/3(-6"x" + 5)`
y = `-2"x" + 5/3` ........(1)
This equation is of the form y = mx + c, where m = −2 and c = `5/3`.
Therefore, equation (1) is in the slope-intercept form, where the slope and the y-intercept are −2 and `5/3` respectively.
