PLEASE HELP I GIVE BRAINLIESTConsider the system of equations.y = –2x + 4,3y + x = –3Which statement is true of this system of equations?A. Both equations are in slope-intercept form.B. The first equation converted to slope-intercept form is y + 2x = 4.C. The second equation converted to slope-intercept form is y=-1/3x-1D. Neither equation is in slope-intercept form.

Question
Answer:
Slope-intercept form is:

[tex]\sf y=mx+b[/tex]

Where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.

Only the first equation is in slope-intercept form, so that crosses out the first and last options. It also crosses out the second option since the first equation is already in slope-intercept form.

For the third option, let's convert the second equation into slope-intercept and see for ourselves:

[tex]\sf 3y+x=-3[/tex]

Subtract 'x' to both sides:

[tex]\sf 3y=-x-3[/tex]

Divide 3 to both sides:

[tex]\sf y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-1[/tex]

So option C is correct.
