Hi there!

$\large\boxed{y = -7}$

4y - 2(1 - y) = -44

Begin by distributing -2:

4y - 2(1) - 2(-y) = -44

Simplify. A negative times a negative equals positive.

4y - 2 + 2y = -44

Combine like terms:

6y - 2 = -44

Add 2 to both sides:

6y = -42

Divide both sides by 6:

y = -7

HURRY! (NO LINKS PLEASE)

Hi!

To solve this, we use the slope equation $\frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2}$

With numbers in the equation it looks likes this:

$\frac{9-6}{1-6} = \frac{3}{-5}$ or $\frac{-3}{5}$

Therefore your answer is D.

Hope this helps! :D

Which expression is the factored form of 2/3 x+4

scoundrel [369]

By expanding D it is clear that it is the factored form of 2/3x + 4

as 2/3x + 4 = 2/3x + 4*3/3

= 2/3x + (2*3)*(2/3). ( rearranging terms)

=2/3( x+ 2*3). ( taking 2*3 common)

=2/3( x + 6)

which is option D

hope it helped ^_^
