Mathias was asked whether the following equation is an identity: 2x^2+10x+6=(x+3)(2x+1)+3(x+1)

Abit confused about what you mean, but i think you might be referring to slope intercept form: y = mx + bin that case b, or the y intercept is already given.(0,-1)find the slope by using the formulay2 - y1/x2 - x1the final slope will be 4/2, equivalent to 2.now your equation should look like thisy = 4/2x -1sorry if this didn’t you out!

For range i think it’s area
