Answer 1

Transform the linear equation −2y=14−6x to slope-intercept form.

Answer 2

To find the slope and the y-intercept of the equation \(4x - 3y = 12\), we can rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form, which is \(y = mx + b\) where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept.

1. Start with the equation:
\[
4x - 3y = 12
\]

2. Solve for \(y\):
\[
-3y = -4x + 12
\]
\[
y = \frac{4}{3}x - 4
\]

From this equation, we can see that:

- The slope \(m\) is \(\frac{4}{3}\).
- The y-intercept \(b\) is \(-4\), which corresponds to the point \((0, -4)\).

So the correct response is:
**The slope is \(\frac{4}{3}\), and the y-intercept is \((0, -4)\).**

Answer 3

To transform the linear equation \(-2y = 14 - 6x\) into slope-intercept form (which is \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept), follow these steps:

1. Start with the equation:
\[
-2y = 14 - 6x
\]

2. To isolate \(y\), divide every term on both sides by \(-2\):
\[
y = \frac{14}{-2} - \frac{6x}{-2}
\]

3. Simplify the fractions:
\[
y = -7 + 3x
\]

4. Rearranging the equation gives:
\[
y = 3x - 7
\]

Now, the equation is in slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\) where:
- The slope \(m\) is \(3\).
- The y-intercept \(b\) is \(-7\).

Thus, the slope-intercept form of the equation is:
\[
y = 3x - 7
\]
