Answer:
Y-intercept = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope-intercept format is given by the equation y=mx+c
where m is the slope and c the y-intercept.
(The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0)
Slope given as -4
And we know it passes through the point(4,6) ie at x=4, y =6
Substitute in above equation to get value of c, the y-intercept
6 = -4(4) + c
6 = -16 + c
c = 22
And this is the y-intercept
The equation of the line is y = -4x + 22

Answer:
degree 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The degree of a polynomial is determined by the term with the largest exponent for the polynomial in standard form
Given
P(x) = (x - 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)(2x - 5)
We need only consider the product of the leading terms in each factor, that is
x(x)(x)(2x) = 2 ← is the leading term in the expansion of the factors
with exponent 4
Thus polynomial is of degree 4
