Question

Find the slope of the described line by x - 6y = -12​

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope m = 1/6

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Equality Properties

Algebra I

Standard Form: Ax + By = C

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope
• b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

x - 6y = -12

Step 2: Rearrange

Find slope-intercept form.

1. Subtract x on both sides:                    -6y = -x - 12
2. Divide -6 on both sides:                      y = 1/6x + 2

Step 3: Break Function
