Answer:

y = −3x −30

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

y = mx + b

  • m = slope
  • b = y-intercept (when x = 0)

y = −5(x + 6) + 2x <== distribute -5

y = −5(x) + −5(6) + 2x

y = −5x −30 + 2x <== combine like terms

y = −3x −30

y = −3x −30

  • -3 = slope
  • -30 = y-intercept (0, -30)

Hope this helps!
