Question

Can someone please help me with my maths

Answer 1

Answer:

A. x+3y = -2

y  = mx+b

3y = -x-2

m = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the "point-slope" form of a linear equation may be expressed as

y = mx + b,

where  m is the gradient.

If m is negative, the gradient is negative.

If m is positive, the gradient is positive.

In our case, if we consider option A,

x + 3y = -2  (rearranging)

3y = -x -2

y = (-1/3) x - (2/3)

if we compare this to the general equation at the top, we can see that

gradient, = m = (-1/3) which is negative.

hence option a has a negative gradient.
