Finding the slope and y intercept by putting an equation in slope intercept form, 6x-3y=18

The video tutorial explains how to convert an equation into the slope-intercept form, Y=MX+B. It begins by defining the components of the form, where M is the slope and B is the Y-intercept. The instructor demonstrates how to isolate Y by undoing operations on the variable, such as addition and multiplication. The process involves rewriting the equation, ensuring the X term precedes the constant, and simplifying the terms. The tutorial concludes with identifying the slope and Y-intercept from the final equation.

What is the general form of the slope-intercept equation?

• Y = CX + D

• Y = MX + B

• Y = AX + B

• Y = BX + C

In the equation Y = MX + B, what does 'M' represent?

• The slope

• The constant term

• The Y-intercept

• The X-intercept

What is the first step in isolating Y in the equation 3Y + 6X = 18?

• Add 6X to both sides

• Subtract 6X from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 3

• Divide both sides by 3

After isolating Y, what operation is used to simplify the equation further?

• Subtract 3

• Multiply by -3

• Add 3

• Divide by -3

What is the slope of the equation after simplification?

• 2

• 3

• -2

• -3
