Explain how to graph -6y = -2x + 24 using slope and the y intercept. *
1 answer:
Hello!
Slope intercept form is y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
To turn the equation into the base form we have to get y by itself
-6y = -2x + 24
Divide both sides by -6
Simplify
To get the y-intercept we put 0 in for the x point and b for the y point
The y-intercept is (0, -4)
The slope is 1/3 which means every time x goes up by 3 the y goes up by 1
Other points are (3, -3) (6, -2) and (9, -1)
With 3 or more points we can plot a graph
Hope this Helps!

Similar polygons only differ by a scaling factor. In other words, two polygons are similar if one is the scaled version of the other.
In particular, this implies that the angles are preserved, and the correspondent sides are in proportion.
These two polygons are both rectangles, so the angles are preserved. We must check the sides, and we have to check if the smaller sides are in the same proportion as the bigger sides.
So, the two rectangles are similar if the following is true.
In any proportion, the product of the inner terms must be the same as the product of the outer terms:
This is clearly false, and thus the two rectangles are not similar.
