Question

What is the slope and y-intercept of the equation 3(y − 2) + 6(x + 1) − 2 = 0? A. slope = -2, y-intercept = B. slope = 2, y-intercept = C. slope = -2, y-intercept = D. slope = 2, y-intercept = E. slope = -2, y-intercept = Reset Next

Answer 1

Explanation:

Carrying out the indicated multiplication, we get

3y - 6 + 6x + 6 - 2 = 0.

Combining like terms, we get 3y = -6x + 2.

Solving for y: y = -2x + 2/3.

The slope is -2 and the y-inercept is 2/3.
