Answer:

Explanation:

In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.

4x - 2y = -6

-2y = -4x- 6

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

y = 2x + 3....slope here is 2, and y int is 3

3x + y = 3

y = -3x + 3.....slope here is -3, and y int is 3

B. slopes are different, y intercepts are the same
