Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept: 4y+2x=8

Answer 1

y=-1/2x+2

Explanation:

Solve for y:

4y= -2x+8 (move 2x to the other side to isolate 4y)

y=-2/4x+8/4 (divide by 4 on both sides to isolate y)

y=-1/2x+2 (simplify, gives equation y=mx+b)

slope=-1/2 and y-intercept=2 (m=slope & b= y-intercept)
