Answer 1

First lets solve this equation for y. Do you know how to do that?

Answer 2

-2n-1

Answer 3

Not quite. Lets try and do this step by step.
\[4x+6y+2=0\]
\[4x=6y=-2\]
\[6y=-4x-2\]
\[y={-4\over6}x - {2\over6}\]
\[y=-{2\over3}x-{1\over3}\]

Answer 4

Now you know that the equation of a line is y=mx+b right? m is equivalent to the slope and b is the y-intercept(fancy way of saying where it crosses the y axis).

Answer 5

Here is a graph of this line to help better visualize what's going on: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=graph+4x%2B6y%2B2%3D0

Answer 6

So if m is our slope, slope is defined to be "rise" over "run". So in this case we "rise" -2 and "run" 3. Do you see how that works?
