Question

[4_03]Identify the correct slope and y intercept of the equation 2x + 4y = 12.

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

Well the best way to do this question is to put the equation into slope- intercept form: y=mx +c

so put the 2x to the other side : 4y =-2x +12 and then isolate y by dividing both sides by 4 : y =-1/2 x + 3

Answer 2

*where m is the slope and c is the intercept

Answer 3

c is the y intercept (0, c)
