Line AB passes through points A(−6, 6) and B(12, 3). If the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, then m=m equals negative StartFraction 1 Over 6 EndFraction.. What is the value of b?
We have slope m:
We need to find value of b (y-intercept)
Using the point A(-6,6) and slope we can find b.
Using slope-intercept form, putting values of m and x and y we get the value of b:
When factoring an expression like this, you need to divide all of the parts by a common number or variable. In this case, the only thing all of these numbers share is that they are divisible by 648. So, you would divide each number by 648 to simplify it, getting 1, 3, 4, and 2. Put these numbers in front of their respective variables, and put 648 outside of the parentheses to get the final answer.
