Question

Convert the equation of the line 2x-3y+6=0 into intercept form

Answer 1

Answer:

hlo

Step-by-step explanation:

One form of the equation of a straight line is y = mx + c , where m represents the gradient (slope) of the line and c , the y-intercept.

What makes this form useful is that m and c may be extracted quite 'easily'.

Rearrange - 2x + 3y - 6 = 0 into this form.

hence: 3y = 2x + 6

divide both sides by 3 to obtain  

y

=

2

3

x

+

2

⇒

slope

=

2

3

and y-intercept

=

2

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

intercept form is written as :

y = mx + c

so

=> 2x-3y+6=0

=> 2x-3y = -6

=> -3y = -6-2x

=> y = -2x/-3 -6/-3

=> y = 2x/3 +2

so,

m = 2/3 and,

c = 2
