which equation is equivalent to y-6 = -12(x + 4)

Answer 1

The equation y-6 = -12(x + 4) can be simplified by distributing the -12 to the terms inside the parentheses:

y - 6 = -12x - 48

To make it equivalent, we can rearrange the terms, so the equation becomes:

-12x + y = -48 + 6

Simplifying further:

-12x + y = -42

The equation -12x + y = -42 is equivalent to y-6 = -12(x + 4).
