Which is the slope of the line with equation -4x -2y = 4? A: - 2 B: - 1/2 C: 1/2 D: 2

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

add 4x to both sides \[\implies -2y = 4x + 4\] divide everything by -2 \[\implies y = -2x - 2\] does that help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 2? @igbasallote

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

what is the coefficient of x here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
