Question

Juliet needs to rewrite 3 (x + 2) = 6 y in slope-intercept form so she can easily graph it. Which step would be correct to start the process?

A. She could combine the x and 2 to get 3 (2 x) = 6 y.
B. She could divide both sides by 3 to get x + 2 = 2 y.
C. She could distribute the 3 to get 3 x + 2 = 6 y.
D. She could subtract the 6y to get Negative 6 y = 3 (x + 2).

Answer 1

because the x+2 is in parentheses, to put the equation in slope intercept form you would distribute the 3 to the x and the 2 using multiplication. So it would be 3x+6=6y. The final result would be y=1/2x+1.

Answer 2

C. She could distribute the 3 to get 3 x + 2 = 6 y.
