Question

What is the equation of the line x–3y=18in slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{3} x-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Write down the slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

To turn the equation into slope-intercept form, isolate y on the left-hand side:

$x-3y=18\\-3y=18-x\\y=-6+\frac{x}{3}$

Rearrange the equation a bit:

$y=\frac{1}{3} x-6$
