Question

What is the slope and y-intercept of this line `y + 6 = 2(x + 4)`?

Answer 1

The slope is 2 and the y-intercept is 2.

Explanation:

Convert the given equation to slope-intercept form, which is:
`y = mx + b`

The slope will be represented by the letter `m` (the coefficient of `x`) and `b` will represent the y-intercept.

Simplify and solve for `y` as follows:
`y+6 = 2(x + 4)`
`y+6 = 2x + 8`
`y = 2x + 2`

slope (`m`): 2
y-intercept (`b`): 2
