Question

the line -6+2y=10 is written in standard form. can you tell what the growth of the line is?Its y-intercept?

Answer 1

First, you need to put the equation as y equals to something.

-6 + 2y = 10

Add 6 to both sides:

2y = 16

Divide both sides by 2:

y = 8

So the line y = 8 is equals to the line of -6 + 2y = 10.

The line y = 8 is a straight horizontal line. So that means there is no growth and the y-intercept is 8.

Growth: 0

Y-intercept: 8

Answer 2

Growth: 3

y-intercept: 5

Explanation:

1. Find the equation in slope-intercept form:

-6x+2y=10

2y=6x+10

y=3x+5

2. Then we can easily identify the growth and y-intercept.

Growth: 3

y-intercept: 5
