How do you turn 3y-x=6 into y=mx+b form

Since you want to get to slope-intercept form, , you want to get y isolated on one side of the equation.

We are given:

Let us first get 3y all by itself on one side of the equation. The easiest way to do that would be to add x to both sides, which cancels the -x on the left. We will be left with:

However, we can't have the coefficient of 3 on the variable y, or it won't be in slope-intercept form. So, we must divide both sides by 3.

Simplify.

Useful note: is the same as . This goes with any other fraction as well.

To turn 3y - x = 6, solve for y.

3y = 6 + x

y = 2 + x/3

y = 2 + 1/3x

answer: the common difference is -0.10
