Find the slope and y-intercept of each line:
a. (x+2)(x+3)=(x-2)(x-3)+y
b. x=my+b

Please show workings, and I won't accept nonsense answers! Don't answer the question if you don't know what it means!!​

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

[tex](x+2)(x+3) = (x+2)(x-3) + y[/tex]

Resolving Parenthesis

[tex]x^2+3x+2x+6=x^2-3x-2x+6+y\\x^2+5x+6 = x^2-5x+6+y[/tex]

Subtracting [tex]x^2[/tex] and 6 to both sides

[tex]5x= -5x+y[/tex]

Adding 5x to both sides

[tex]y = 5x+5x\\y = 10x[/tex]

Comparing it with [tex]y = mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope while b is the y-intercept

So,

Slope = m = 10

Y-intercept = b = 0

Part B:

[tex]x = my+b[/tex]

Subtracting b to both sides

[tex]my = x-b[/tex]

Dividing both sides by m

[tex]y = \frac{x-b}{m}\\ y = \frac{x}{m} - \frac{b}{m}[/tex]

Comparing it with [tex]y = mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope while b is the y-intercept

So,

Slope = m = [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex]

Y-intercept = b = [tex]-\frac{b}{m}[/tex]
