Question

Write the following inequality in slope-intercept form:

-6x + 2y ≤ 42

A) y ≤ 3x - 21
B) y ≤ 3x + 21
C) y ≥ 3x - 21
D) y ≥ 3x + 21

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

to get to slope-intercept form, we isolate the y. -6x+2y≤42, add 6x to both sides, 2y≤6x+42, now divide by 2 for both sides (note, we only flip the sign when we divide by a negative number) y≤3x+21
