Find the slope of y=2/3x + 6

Question

helping with finding the slope

Answer 1

Erica, 

 

The solution to your problem is very simple. 

 

A line is always represented by the equation y = mx + c

where, 

m=slope and c=y-intercept 

 

your equation is 

 

y = (2/3)x + 6

 

compare it to y = (m)x + c

 

Your slope is 2/3 

Answer 2

Ericka, slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is your y-intercept.

 

Your slope is 2/3. Yes, it really is that simple!
