Question

Determine the slope and y-intercept. 4x + y = -10

Answer 1

Y intercept is -10

Explanation:

Answer 2

slope = -4

y-intercept = -10

Explanation:

Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 4x from both sides:

4x (-4x) + y = -10 (-4x)

y = -4x - 10

Note the slope intercept form: y = mx + b

y = y

m = slope = -4

x = x

b = y-intercept = -10

slope = -4

y-intercept = -10
