Question

Find the slope of the line 6x – 2y = 6

Answer 1

$6x-2y=6$
To find the slope of the line, you need to find what y equals first
You must move around the numbers around until you get only y on one side of the equal sign.
$6x-6x-2y=6-6x$
$-2y=6-6x$
Then, you "isolate" y from every number
$\frac{-2y}{-2} = \frac{6-6x}{2}$
Therefore, you have the slope:
$y=3-3x$ or in slope/line formula (y=mx+b)
$y=-3x+3$
In the slope/line formula: x is the slope so therefore the slope of $6x-2y=6$
is 3
