Question

How do you find the slope and intercept of `1/3x+y=2`?

Answer 1

`"slope "=-1/3," y-intercept "=2`

Explanation:

`"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"` is.

`•color(white)(x)y=mx+b`

`"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"`

`"rearrange "1/3x+y=2" into this form"`

`"subtract "1/3x" from both sides"`

`y=-1/3x+2larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"`

`"with slope "=-1/3" and y-intercept "=2`
