SLOPES Algebra Example: Determine the slope of the line whose equation is 2x + 3y = 6 and whose y-intercept is (0,2). Solution: y = mx + b 2x + 3y = 6 Write in standard form. 3y = 6 - 2x 3y = -2x + 6 y = -2x + 6 3 y = -2/3x + 2 m = -2/3 Example: Plot the graph of the following linear function. Determine the x-intercept, the y-intercept, and the slope. 7x + 3y = 21 Solution: y = mx + b y = (-7/3)x + 7 x-intercept = 3 y-intercept = 7 Slope = -2.333 MA-02 Page 88 Rev. 0
