9y=-8x+12 // Divide y by 9.

y= -8/9x+12

It is NOT a positive slope, because -8/9x is negative.

Just isolate y! Since the slope-point formula is y = mx + b, looking at your m determines if it's negative or positive! You can always graph the equation to check, but it's usually easier to look at the formula.

Which of the following is not a way to represent the solution of the inequality 3(2x − 1) greater than or equal to 4(2x − 3) − 3

vfiekz [6]

3(2x - 1) > = 4(2x - 3) - 3
6x - 3 > = 8x - 12 - 3
6x - 3 > = 8x - 15
6x - 8x > = -15 + 3
-2x > = -12
x < = -12/-2
x < = 6

the incorrect one is : A number line with a closed circle on 6, shading to the right
