Answer:
-1/2x
Step-by-step explanation:
-1/2x represents the slope because it shows that the line is going down 1/2 every x. 1/4 would be where the line started or the y-intercept.
The slope form: y = mx + b
We have:
3x - 6y - 2 = 0 |add 6y to both sides
3x - 2 = 6y |divide both sides by 6
3x/6 - 2/6 = 6y/6
x/2 - 1/3 = y
y = 1/2 x - 1/3
Answer:
- slope: -3/4
- y-intercept: -2 . . . . or point (0, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form is ...
y = mx + b
Comparing your equation to this pattern, you can see that your equation is already in this form, with ...
In this form, the coefficient of x (which is m) is the slope of the line. Thus your slope is -3/4. The added constant (which is b) is the y-intercept, the value of y when x=0. Your y-intercept is -2. Expressed as the coordinates of a point, the y-intercept is (x, y) = (0, -2).
