A. –6

B. –24

C. 2

D. -1/3

Answer 1

write it in slope intercept form

Answer 2

1/3y = -2x -8

Answer 3

is it correct?

Answer 4

slope intercept form is

y = mx + c

Answer 5

just multiply whole equation with 3

Answer 6

y= -2/3x - 8/3

Answer 7

is it correct?

Answer 8

1/3y = -2x -8

multiply 3

3(1/3y) = 3(-2x -8 )

Answer 9

y = -6x -24
