4x+2y=-6
2y = -4x - 6
y = - 2x - 3
slope = -2
y-intercept when x = 0
so y = -3

answer
slope = -2
y-intercept (0,-3)

Hi and good morning from Canada!

In order to find the slope and the y-intercept of 4x+2y=-6, we need to put this equation in y=mx+b form. This is because m=the slope and b=the y-intercept of a linear function, which is what this equation is (since the degree of the equation is a 1).

4x+2y=-6
2y=-4x-6
y=-4/2x-6/2
y=-2x-3

Therefore the slope is equal to -2 and the y-intercept is (0, -3).

Hope this helps!

What is the equation of the line that passes through (5, 3) and (4, 5)

Answer:

y = - 2x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 5)

m = $\frac{5-3}{4-5}$ = $\frac{2}{-1}$ = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (4, 5), then

5 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = 5 + 8 = 13

y = - 2x + 13 ← equation of line

Si mi hermano gana 589 pesos diarios si ha trabajado 15 días de este mes ¿cuánto dinero ha ganado?

weeeeeb [17]

Mi hermano ha ganado un dinero devengado de 8835 pesos en 15 días.

En esta pregunta debemos determinar el dinero devengado por un período de 15 días a partir de una tasa diaria constante. Esa cantidad es igual al producto de la tasa diaria constante, en pesos por día, y el número de días trabajados, en días:

$x = 589\,\frac{\$}{dia}\times 15\,dias$
