Answer 1

54. slope: -1/5 y-intercept: -6

55. slope: -3x y-intercept: 12

Explanation:

Answer 2

54: slope = m = -1/5

y-intercept = b = -6

55. -3x + 12

Explanation:

Note the equation formula:

y = mx + b

Note that:

m = slope

b = y-intercept

x & y = (x , y)

Note the equation:

y = (-1/5)x - 6

slope = m = -1/5

y-intercept = b = -6

Simplify the expression:

-3(x - 4)

To solve, distribute -3 to all terms within the parenthesis. Multiply:

(-3) * (x) = -3x

(-3) * (-4) = 12

-3x + 12 is your answer.
