3x - 2y = 6

Your hint gives you a longer method of find the slope for the line. When we are given the equation of the line, we shouldn't bother to find two points. It's only when we are given a graph that using two points to find the slope is helpful.

To find the slope of 3x - 2y = 6, we first need to convert it into slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If we solve for y in the equation they gave you, we have converted it into slope-intercept form and it will be easy to find the slope.

3x - 2y = 6

Add 2y on both sides.

3x = 6 + 2y

Subtract 6 on both sides.

3x - 6 = 2y

2y = 3x - 6

Divide by 2 on both sides.

y = (3/2)x - 3

This is now in the form of y = mx + b

y = (3/2)x - 3
y = mx + b

You can see that m = 3/2 and that b = -3

That means that the slope is 3/2 and that the y-intercept is -3.

The slope of the line 3x - 2y = 6 is 3/2 OR 1.5 OR 1 1/2.

The reason why the trails must be in quadrant 2 or 3 is because the coordinates start with a negative number. Quadrant 2= (-,+) and quadrant 3= (-,-)

How much longer is the hypotenuse of the triangle than its shorter leg?
Nastasia [14]
We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for side AB
a^2+b^2=c^2
a will be 6 and b will be 8 becuase those are the legs

6^2+8^2=c^2
36+64=c^2
100=c^2 (square root both sides)
c=10

Then we find the difference between 10 and 6 because 6 is the shortest leg
10-6=4 ft. so B

Hope this helps
