Graph the equation and show your slope: -4x-2y=-6

Step 1. Let's put the equation in slope-intercept form given as y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept when x=0 or at point(0,b).

Step 2. Putting in slope-intercept form yields the following steps.

Add 2y+6 to both sides of the equation

Divide 2y to both sides of the equation

Step 3. ANSWER: The equation is where the slope m=-2 and y-intercept b=3.

Need one more point to graph the line since we have (0,3) as one point. A slope m=-2 means every move to one unit to the right yields two step downward.

So starting at (0,3) then one unit to the right means x2=0+1=1 and then two units down means y2=3-2=1. Then, the other point we can use to plot the line is (1,1). We can check if it satisfies the equation or

which it does.

Here's the graph:

I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
