2x + 3y = 6

Put this into y=mx+b form (which is also called slope-intercept form)

Where m=slope and b=y-intercept

In order to put this into slope-intercept form, we simply need to subtract 2x from both side.s

3y = 6 - 2x

Then, divide both sides by 3 so that we fully isolate y.

3y ÷ 3 = (6 - 2x) ÷ 3

Simplify.

y = 2 - 2/3x

Put this into order by moving "x" onto the correct place.

y = -2/3x + 2

Therefore -2/3 is the slope, as it is in the "m" spot.

Hope I helped! :)

For slope, the equation is y = mx + b, and so you must reorder them to fit the equation

first move the x over

2x (-2x) + 3y = 6 (-2x)

your equation will look like this now:

3y = -2x + 6

as the form is y = mx + b, you must isolate the y by dividing the 3 to both sides.

3y/3 = (-2x + 6)/3

y = -2x/3 + 2

your equation is

y = -2/3x + 2

your slope is m, which is -2/3 in this case

your answer is -2/3

hope this helps

Petes boat can travel 48 miles upstream in 4 hours. The return trip takes 3 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water and
tankabanditka [31]
So... hmm bear in mind, when the boat goes upstream, it goes against the stream, so, if the boat has speed rate of say "b", and the stream has a rate of "r", then the speed going up is b - r, the boat's rate minus the streams, because the stream is subtracting speed as it goes up

going downstream is a bit different, the stream speed is "added" to boat's
so the boat is really going faster, is going b + r

notice, the distance is the same, upstream as well as downstream
thus   \bf \begin{cases}
b=\textit{rate of the boat}\\
r=\textit{rate of the river}
\end{cases}\qquad thus
\\\\\\

\begin{array}{lccclll}
&distance&rate&time(hrs)\\
&----&----&----\\
upstream&48&b-r&4\\
downstream&48&b+4&3
\end{array}
\\\\\\

\begin{cases}
48=(b-r)(4)\to 48=4b-4r\\\\
\frac{48-4b}{-4}=r\\
--------------\\
48=(b+r)(3)\\
-----------------------------\\\\
thus\\\\
48=\left[ b+\left(\boxed{\frac{48-4b}{-4}}\right) \right] (3)
\end{cases}

solve for "r", to see what the stream's rate is

what about the boat's? well, just plug the value for "r" on either equation and solve for "b"
