Question

Identify the correct slope and y intercept of the equation 2x + 4y = 12.
How would I do this?

slope = 2; y intercept at (0, 12)

slope = 1/2; y intercept at (0, 3)

slope = 1/2; y intercept at (0, 4)

slope = -1/2; y intercept at (0, 3)

Answer 1

slope = -1/2; y intercept at (0, 3)

Answer 2

Start by getting y by itself, what slope do you get?

Answer 3

2x+4y=12



4y=12-2x



4y=-2x+12



y=(-2x+12)/(4)



y=((-2)/(4))x+(12)/(4)



y=-(1/2)x+3


So the slope is -1/2 and the y-intercept is (0, 3)
