How do you find the slope and y intercept for #3y=-6x+3#?

Answer 1

Genesis Allen

3y = -6x + 3

y = -2x + 1

Slope is -2

We get the y-intercept by making x = 0 --> y = 1.

To find the slope and y-intercept for the equation (3y = -6x + 3), first, solve for (y) to put it in slope-intercept form ((y = mx + b)), where (m) is the slope and (b) is the y-intercept.

Divide both sides of the equation by 3: (y = -2x + 1).
The coefficient of (x), which is -2, represents the slope.
The constant term, which is 1, represents the y-intercept.

Therefore, the slope is -2 and the y-intercept is 1.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
