Question

Find and list the slope and y-intercept of the equation below. -2y=6(2x-2)

Answer 1

`\text{Solve the equation to make it into slope intercept form}\\\\\text{Slope intercept form: y = mx + b}\\\\\text{Solve:}\\\\-2y=6(2x-2)\\\\\text{Distribute the 6 to the variables inside the parenthesis}\\\\-2y=12x-12\\\\\text{Divide both sides by -2}\\\\y=-6x+6\\\\\text{The slope would be -6 and the y intercept would be 6}\\\\\boxed{\text{Slope: -6 y-intercept: 6}}`
