Question

Find the slope and the y intercept of the line whose equation is 2x+y=-4

Answer 1

can you put the equation in this form y = mx + b

just solve for y

Answer 2

is -4 the slope?

Answer 3

I am so confused

Answer 4

no.. the "m" part in the equation would be slope.

Answer 5

2x+y=-4
subtract 2 x from both sides

2x + y - 2x = -4 - 2x
y = -2x -4

slope intercept form

y = mx + b
m is the slope

do u kno the slope now?

Answer 6

I SEEE!!! -2 ?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

THANK YOU!!!!!

Answer 9

now plug in x = 0 to get the y-intercept

Answer 10

wanna try it?

Answer 11

ok.... so when that is plugged in the y intercept would be -4

Answer 12

(0,-4)

Answer 13

I see!! Thank you for your help

Answer 14

no problem
