question 36

Multiple Choice

Write the equation in slope-intercept form and determine the slope and y-intercept.
- $$- 2 x = - 3 y - 6$$

• A) \(y = \frac { 2 } { 3 } x - 2 ;\) slope: \(\frac { 2 } { 3 } ; y\)-intercept: \(( 0 , - 2 )\)
• B) \(y = \frac { 2 } { 3 } x + 6 ;\) slope: \(\frac { 2 } { 3 } ; y\)-intercept: \(( 0,6 )\)
• C) \(y = - \frac { 2 } { 3 } x + 6\); slope: \(- \frac { 2 } { 3 } ; y\)-intercept: \(( 0,6 )\)
• D) \(y = - \frac { 2 } { 3 } x - 2 ;\) slope: \(- \frac { 2 } { 3 } ; y\)-intercept: \(( 0 , - 2 )\)
