Question

what is the equation of the line $x - 3y = 18$ in slope - intercept form?
drag and drop the appropriate number, symbol, or variable to each box.
boxes with x, y, -18, -9, -3, $-\frac{1}{3}$, $\frac{1}{3}$, 6, 9, 18, +, -, = and a dashed - lined box structure are shown

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the y-term

$x - 3y = 18 \implies -3y = -x + 18$

Step2: Solve for y (divide by -3)

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

Step3: Simplify the expression

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

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{3}x - 6$
(The filled boxes in order are: $y$, $=$, $\frac{1}{3}$, $x$, $-$, $6$)
