Question

Write the following inequality in slope-intercept form. 6x + 2y ≤ –46

Answer 1

ANSWER

$y \leqslant - 3x - 23$

EXPLANATION

The given inequality is

$6x + 2y \leqslant - 46$
The slope intercept form of the given inequality is given by,

$y \leqslant mx + c$

Where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept of the corresponding linear equation.

So we make y the subject of the given inequality to obtain,

$2y \leqslant - 6x - 46$

We now divide through by 2 to get,

$y \leqslant - 3x - 23$

Therefore the correct answer is option B

Answer 2

6x + 2y ≤ –46
2y ≤  -6x - 46
  y ≤  -3x - 23

answer is B. y ≤ –3x – 23
