A.



slope: 8

y-intercept: (4, 0)


B.



slope: -8

y-intercept: (0, 4)


C.



slope: 8

y-intercept: (0, 4)


D.



slope: -8

y-intercept: (4, 0)

Answer 1

first distribute 4 to the part of the equation in "( )"

Answer 2

-3y=84?

Answer 3

don't forget the x

Answer 4

wait would it be -3y=24x-12?

Answer 5

correct. now solve further

Answer 6

what would i do first?

Answer 7

get y on it's own by...

Answer 8

dividing both sides by -3, right?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

do i divide 24 by it too?

Answer 11

no, you want to leave the slope alone after you divide everything by -3 to get y on it's own.

Answer 12

okay so the slope would be -8 then and the y-intercept would be (0,4)?

Answer 13

yep.

Answer 14

okay, thank you! :)

Answer 15

welcome! :P
