http://prntscr.com/96kxjx Is it A, @TheSmartOne?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Slope intercept form = y=mx+b

jabez177 (jabez177):

I know, TSO explained it to me when I had forgot.

jabez177 (jabez177):

How do you fit it in though?

pooja195 (pooja195):

A is incorrect

pooja195 (pooja195):

Start by subtracting 6x \[\huge~\rm~6x+4y+−6x=8+−6x \]

pooja195 (pooja195):

When you do this what do you get? Or what are you left with?

jabez177 (jabez177):

2x

pooja195 (pooja195):

What would the equation look like?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve for y. \[y=2-\frac{3 x}{2}\]

jabez177 (jabez177):

Okay, I somewhat forgot how to do this. Can you explain it a bit more?

\[4y = 2 - 1\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x\]

pooja195 (pooja195):

Step 1: Subtract 6x from both sides we are isolating x \[\huge~\rm~6x+4y+−6x=8+−6x\] Once we do that we have \[\huge~\rm~4y=8−6x\] Now we divide each number by 4 because we are isolating x \[\huge~\rm~4y/4=8/4−6x/4\] Tell me what you get

jabez177 (jabez177):

Or in this case, \[\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }\]

pooja195 (pooja195):

ok 4/4=?

jabez177 (jabez177):

1 so that gets y by itself.

pooja195 (pooja195):

Correct! :) so far y= 8/4=?

jabez177 (jabez177):

C is the answer.

jabez177 (jabez177):

2

pooja195 (pooja195):

Correct :)

pooja195 (pooja195):

C is right

jabez177 (jabez177):

Thank you! :)

pooja195 (pooja195):

np

jabez177 (jabez177):

However, how did the negative get in there?

jabez177 (jabez177):

@Pooja195, how did the negative get in there? Can you explain it some more to me so I will know in the future?

pooja195 (pooja195):

-6x/4 the 6 is negative.

jabez177 (jabez177):

Uhh... Okay, thanks?
