Change the equation to y-intercept form
4x+2y=12
2y= -4x + 12
y = -2x + 6
The y-intercept is 6, since the constant in the y-intercept form function is 6.

The Y-intercept is a point where the line crosses the Y lines. That means it would be the point where X=0. Then to find the Y-intercept you only need to insert X=0 into the equation. The calculation would be:

<span> 4×+2y=12
4(0) + 2 Y= 12
2Y =12
Y=6</span>

Answer:

1. $P(x)$ ÷ $Q(x)$ ---> $\frac{-3x + 2}{3(3x - 1)}$

2. $P(x) + Q(x)$ ---> $\frac{2(6x - 1)}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$

3. $P(x) - Q(x)$ ---> $\frac{-2(12x - 5)}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$

4. $P(x)*Q(x)$ --> $\frac{12}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

1. $P(x) = \frac{2}{3x - 1}$

$Q(x) = \frac{6}{-3x + 2}$

Thus,

$P(x)$ ÷ $Q(x)$ = $\frac{2}{3x - 1}$ ÷ $\frac{6}{-3x + 2}$

Flip the 2nd function, Q(x), upside down to change the process to multiplication.

$\frac{2}{3x - 1}*\frac{-3x + 2}{6}$

$\frac{2(-3x + 2)}{6(3x - 1)}$

$= \frac{-3x + 2}{3(3x - 1)}$

2. $P(x) + Q(x)$ = $\frac{2}{3x - 1} + \frac{6}{-3x + 2}$

Make both expressions as a single fraction by finding, the common denominator, divide the common denominator by each denominator, and then multiply by the numerator. You'd have the following below:

$\frac{2(-3x + 2) + 6(3x - 1)}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}$
