Answer:

p = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

4p = 6p + -12

Reorder the terms:

4p = -12 + 6p

Solving

4p = -12 + 6p

Solving for variable 'p'.

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6p' to each side of the equation.

4p + -6p = -12 + 6p + -6p

Combine like terms: 4p + -6p = -2p

-2p = -12 + 6p + -6p

Combine like terms: 6p + -6p = 0

-2p = -12 + 0

-2p = -12

Divide each side by '-2'.

p = 6

Simplifying

p = 6

Answer: D. $y+4=(x+2)$

Step-by-step explanation: Once you subtract $4$ from both sides, in order to solve for y (as the equation needs to be in the slope-intercept form, otherwise known as $y=mx+b$ ), you end up with $y=x-2$ , which is the right answer. It is the correct answer because the y-intecept shown in the equation matches what is on the graph, in addition to the fact that the slope is just $x$ .
