Answer 1

Explanation:

slope of y=6-2x=> -2 as it is in the form (y=mx+c )

y intercept of y=-10x-4=-4(as it in the form y=mx+c ,c is intercept made by y-axis)

so equation of line having-4 as y intercept and slope as -2 will be given by (intercept slope form):

that is y=mx+c

=> y= -2x-4=> 2x+y+4=0 is equation of required line

Answer 2

y = - 2x - 4

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 6 - 2x = - 2x + 6 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2

y = - 10x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

eith y- intercept c = - 4

then

y = - 2x - 4 ← is the equation of the required line
