Solve the given equation for y to obtain the slope and y-intercept of this equation:
-3x + 9y = 18
Add 3x to both sides: 3x - 3x + 9y = 18 + 3x
Simplifying, 9y = 3x + 18
Dividing both sides by 9 to solve for y:
y = (3/9)x + 2 or (after reduction) y = (1/3)x + 2
The slope is 1/3 and the y-int. is (0,2).
-3x + 9y = 18
Add 3x to both sides: 3x - 3x + 9y = 18 + 3x
Simplifying, 9y = 3x + 18
Dividing both sides by 9 to solve for y:
y = (3/9)x + 2 or (after reduction) y = (1/3)x + 2
The slope is 1/3 and the y-int. is (0,2).
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x+9y=18
or,
3x-9y+18=0
comparing the equation with ax+by+c=0,
we get,
a=3
b=-9
c=18
we know,
slope of the equation= -a/b
=-3/-9
=1/3
