<h2>Answer:</h2>

Step 1: Determine b by using the point (-6,-2), the given slope, and the slope intercept formula, y = mx + b.

$y = mx + b\\\\-2 = \frac{1}{6}(-6) + b\\\\-2 = -1 + b\\\\-1 = b$

Step 2: Now that we have b, we can determine the equation of the line.

$y = \frac{1}{6}x -1$

I didn't use + (-1) because b is negative. Therefore you need to change the equation from y = 1/6x + (-1) to y = 1/6x - 1.

Which transformation occurred?

nikdorinn [45]

The x coordinate remains the same.
The Y coordinate changes from a positive number to a negative number.

This means that the figure is reflected across the X axis because positive Y values are above the X axis and negative Y values are below the X axis.

The answer is D.

Multiply polynomials

Burka [1]

Answer -2x^4 - 2x^3 + 22x^2 - 30x + 12

Here's your solution

=> (2x^2 - 4x + 2) - (x^2 + 3x - 6)

=> (2x^2 - 4x + 2) -x^2 - 3x + 6

=> firstly multiple whole with -x^2

=> -x^2(2x^2 - 4x + 2) = -2x^4 + 4x^3 - 2x^2

=> now with -3x

=> -3x(2x^2 - 4x + 2) = -6x^3 +12x^2 -6x

=> with 6

=> 6(2x^2 - 4x + 2) = 12x^2 - 24x + 12

=> now add all terms

=> -2x^4 - 2x^3 + 22x^2 - 30x + 12

hope it helps and your day will be full of happiness ^_^
