Hassan Poole · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.

4x - 2y = - 6

-2y = - 4x - 6

y = (-4/-2) x - (6/-2)

y = 2x + 3 ... slope here is 2, and y int is 3

3x + y = 3

y = - 3x + 3 ... slope here is - 3, and y int is 3

B. slopes are different, y intercepts are the same
