How do you find the slope of #-6=3x-y#?

Answer 1

Eva Abramson

#"slope "=3#

#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.

#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#

#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#

#"rearrange "-6=3x-y" into this form"#

#"add "y" to both sides"#

#y-6=3x#

#"add 6 to both sides"#

#y=3x+6larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#

#"with slope "=3#

To find the slope of the equation -6 = 3x - y, rearrange it into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m represents the slope. Start by isolating y, yielding y = 3x + 6. The slope (m) of this equation is therefore 3.

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.
