if i solve
6x - 3y = 24
for y, i find that m =
and b =

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate -3y

Subtract \(6x\) from both sides: \(-3y = -6x + 24\)

Step2: Solve for y

Divide each term by \(-3\): \(y = \frac{-6x}{-3} + \frac{24}{-3}\)
Simplify: \(y = 2x - 8\)
In slope - intercept form \(y = mx + b\), \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y - intercept.

Answer:

\(m = 2\) and \(b=-8\)
