Given the equation, 4x + 2y = -6, (6 points) (8.EE
a. Rewrite the equation into its y-intercept form

Answer 1

We want to write the equation in the form

y = mx + b.

We need to solve for y.

4x + 2y = -6

Subtract 4x from both sides.

4x - 4x + 2y = -4x - 6

2y = -4x - 6

Divide both sides by 2.

2y/2 = (-4x - 6)/2

y = (-4x - 6)/2

y = -2x - 3

Done.
