Question

3a. y + 2x = 6
is it in the form
y = mx + b? no
list b = ____, m = ____
(fraction!!!)
go to b on the y - axis,
put a dot
from that dot, \do\ the slope
+ = rise / - = fall
+ = run right/ - = run left
draw the line
solve for y
y + 2x = 6

• 2x - 2x

y = ____________
(use this equation)

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate y

To solve \( y + 2x = 6 \) for \( y \), we subtract \( 2x \) from both sides.

Step2: Identify m and b

The equation \( y = -2x + 6 \) is in the form \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y - intercept. So, \( m=-2=-\frac{2}{1} \) and \( b = 6 \).

Answer:

For the solved equation: \( y=-2x + 6 \)
For \( b \): \( 6 \)
For \( m \): \( -\frac{2}{1} \) (or \( -2 \))
