3x+2y=6
Step 1
Step 1.1
The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
y=mx+b
Step 1.2
Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation.
2y=6-3x
Step 1.3
Divide each term in 2y=6-3x by 2 and simplify.
Step 1.3.1
Divide each term in 2y=6-3x by 2.
2y2=62+-3x2
Step 1.3.2
Simplify the left side.
Step 1.3.2.1
Cancel the common factor of 2.
Step 1.3.2.1.1
Cancel the common factor.
2y2=62+-3x2
Step 1.3.2.1.2
Divide y by 1.
y=62+-3x2
y=62+-3x2
y=62+-3x2
Step 1.3.3
Simplify the right side.
Step 1.3.3.1
Simplify each term.
Step 1.3.3.1.1
Divide 6 by 2.
y=3+-3x2
Step 1.3.3.1.2
Move the negative in front of the fraction.
y=3-3x2
y=3-3x2
y=3-3x2
y=3-3x2
Step 1.4
Write in y=mx+b form.
Step 1.4.1
Reorder 3 and -3x2.
y=-3x2+3
Step 1.4.2
Reorder terms.
y=-(32x)+3
Step 1.4.3
Remove parentheses.
y=-32x+3
y=-32x+3
y=-32x+3
Step 2
Step 2.1
Find the values of m and b using the form y=mx+b.
m=-32
b=3
Step 2.2
The slope of the line is the value of m, and the y-intercept is the value of b.
Slope: -32
y-intercept: (0,3)
Slope: -32
y-intercept: (0,3)
