    Option a is the correct answer

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The slope intercept form of an equation is defined as

    y = mx + c where

    m = the slope of the equation. The slope would be determined by (change in the value of y on the vertical axis) /

    (change in the value of x on the horizontal axis)

    From the equation given,

    y + 6 = 2 (x + 2)

    We would rearrange this equation so that it will conform with the slope intercept form, y = mx + c as stated earlier.

    Opening the brackets,

    y + 6 = 2x + 4

    Subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation,

    y + 6 - 6 = 2x + 4 - 6

    y = 2x - 2

    Comparing with y = mx + c,

    The y-intercept is - 2

    The slope = 2
