Question

How do you find the slope and y intercept for: `x+6y=6`?

Answer 1

Slope: `(-1/6)`

Explanation:

Either
a. Recognize that given an equation in the form:
`color(white)("XX")Ax+By=C`
`color(white)("XXXXX")`has a slope `m=-A/B`

or
b. Convert `x+6y=6` into slope intercept-form (`y=mx+b`)
`color(white)("XX")y=-1/6x+1`
