Question

Rewrite this equation in Slope Intercept form and

solve the equation at x = -1. Show your work.
2x + y = 6

Answer 1

y = -2x + 6

y = 8

Explanation:

Rewrite this equation in Slope Intercept form

2x + y = 6

Subtract 2x from both sides

y = -2x + 6

------------------------------

solve the equation at x = -1

y = -2(-1) + 6

y = 2 + 6

y = 8

Answer 2

y = -2x+6

y=8 when x = -1

Explanation:

2x + y = 6

Slope intercept form is y = mx+b where m is the slope and y is the intercept

Solve for y

Subtract 2x from each side

y = -2x+6

The slope is -2 and the y intercept is -6

Let x = -1

y = -2(-1) +6

y = 2+6

y=8

(-1,8)
