Give the slope and y intercept 6x-3y=-9
Nikolay [14]
To find the slope and the y-intercept of this equation, we need to first convert it to slope-intercept form. (y = mx + b)

To convert it, we need to first isolate the y term by subtracting 6x from both sides of the equation.

6x - 6x - 3y = -9 - 6x

-3y = -9 - 6x

Now that the y term is on one side of the equation, we can continue.

Divide <em>everything </em>on the left side of the equation by the coefficient on the right side of the equation. In this case, the number is 3.

y = -3 - 2x

Flip some of those numbers around to get this:

y = 2x - -3

Get rid of the double negative. (Change 2x - -3 into 2x + 3)

y = 2x + 3

Now that we've converted the equation, we can identify the slope (the number beside x) and y-intercept (the number that stands alone)

Slope: 2
Y-intercept: 3

6 12/17 a rational number
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Yes

Rewrite the mixed number into an improper fraction...

6 12/17 becomes 114/17    

The definition of a rational number is any number a/b where b does not equal zero.  114/17 satisfies this requirement, so it is a rational number
