To convert the given inequalities to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we will solve each inequality for \( y \).

  1. For the first inequality:

    \[ 2x + y < -4 \]

    To isolate \( y \), we subtract \( 2x \) from both sides:

    \[ y < -2x - 4 \]

    This is the slope-intercept form of the first inequality: \[ y < -2x - 4 \]

  2. For the second inequality:

    \[ -9x + 10y \geq -90 \]

    First, we add \( 9x \) to both sides:

    \[ 10y \geq 9x - 90 \]

    Next, we divide everything by 10 to solve for \( y \):

    \[ y \geq \frac{9}{10}x - 9 \]

    This is the slope-intercept form of the second inequality: \[ y \geq \frac{9}{10}x - 9 \]

Summary:

  • The first inequality in slope-intercept form is \( y < -2x - 4 \).
  • The second inequality in slope-intercept form is \( y \geq \frac{9}{10}x - 9 \).
