Answer:

The slope is 0.98 and the y-intercept is 1.44.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is a linear equation in the Slope-Intercept form y=mx+b. It’s called this because it identifies the slope m and the point on the y-axis at which the line intersects.

arrange the expressions in the correct sequence to rationalize the denominator of the expression -(2)/(\sqrt(x+y-2)-\sqrt(x+y+2)

We have to rationalize the denominator:
$\frac{-2}{ \sqrt{x+y-2} - \sqrt{x+y+2} } = \\ \frac{-2}{ \sqrt{x+y-2} - \sqrt{x+y+2} }* \frac{ \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2} }{ \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2} }= \\ \frac{-2*( \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2}) }{x+y-2-(x+y+2)}= \\ \frac{-2*( \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2}) }{x+y-2-x-y-2}= \\ \frac{-2*( \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2} }{-4}= \\ \frac{ \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2} }{2}$
