"consider the equation 6x - 3y= 12. what is the slope graph of this equation? "

Right now, we are given the standard form of the line: ax + by = c
a = 6, b = -3, c = 12
If we use algebra to to change it into its point-slope form, we can easily identify the slope of the equation.
6x - 3y = 12
-3y = 12 - 6x
- 3y = -6x + 12
3y = 6x - 12
3y/3 = (6x - 12)/3
y = 2x - 4
Now the equation is in point-slope form: y = mx + b where m is the slope.
Since m=2, the slope of the line is 2.

A shortcut to find the slope of a line in standard form is m = -a/b
Using the same equation as above, 6x - 3y = 12 a = 6, b = -3
-6/(-3) = 2
