and the slope of the line y=2/3x+6??
thanks!

the slope is 6
the equation is in the form y=mx+b, where m= slope
so the answer for your 2nd question is 2/3

In the equation of a line y = mx + b, 'm' is the slope.
So in the line y=6x-2, the slope would be 6.
In the like 7=2/3x + 6, the slope would be 2/3.

slope is whatever is with the x term
for y=6x-2 the slope is 6 or 6/1
for the line y=2/3x+6 the slope is 2/3

That is called "slope-intercept form". You know at a glance what the slope and what the y-intercept is. The slope is always the coefficient of x - in this case it is 6. The y-intercept is always the number following x - in this case -2. For the second line, the slope is 2/3.

if the eq is y = mx + b then m is the slope
so y=6x-2 slope = 6
y=2/3x + 6 slope = 2/3

The slope of the first is 6.
The slope of the second is 2/3.
The formula is y = mx + b. m is always the slope.

The slope is the multiple of the x.....
So y=6x-2....slope is 6
y=2/3x+6........slope is 2/3

The slope is the number in front of the x.
The first one is rise 6, run 1.
The second one is rise 2, run 3.

slope intercept form is y=mx+b
so 6=m and 2/3=m
M is the slope.

It's 6
In slope intercept y=ax+b a is the slope, in this case 6

isnt that the slope? becuz u put ur dot at 6, then go up 3 over 2. then put ur line at -2 then go up 6 right 1..idk if im right
