Question

Identify slope, x-intercept, y-intercept of the line which has an equation of 2x-y=4

a.) m = 1/2, x-intercept=2, y-intercept=-4
b.) m = -1/2, x-intercept =-2, y-intercept = 4
c.) m = 2, x-intercept=2, y-intercept=-4
d.)m=-2, x-intercept=-2, y-intercept=4

Answer 1

Rearrange the 2x-y=4 to 2x-4=y
Now y intercept is when x=0 so y=-4
x intercept is when y=0 so x=2
m is the gradient and is the constant x is nmultiplied by so its 2

The answer is c
