Question

Write the equation 4x + 2y = 5 in the form y = mx + b.

Answer 1

4x+2y-5=0

Explanation:

since you have to put the problem in that order you take 5 from both sides

Answer 2

The correct answer is y = -2x + 5/2

Explanation:

y = mx + b. is the y intercept form of a line.

To find the y = mx + b. form

It is given that,

4x + 2y = 5

2y = -4x + 5

Dividing both sides by 2 we get,

2y/2 = (-4x + 5)/2

y = -4x/2 + 5/2

y = -2x + 5/2

Here m = -2 and b = 5/2
