Question

1/2y + 1/4x = 2.5 in slope-intercept form?
(Y= mx+ b)

Answer 1

1/2 y = -1/4x + 2.5
y = -1/4*2 x + 2.5*4
Can you solve from there?

Answer 2

oops 2.5*2

Answer 3

why would it be Negative 1/4 x

Answer 4

It's negative 1/4 because we subtracted 1/4x from both sides in order to get the equation in the form y = mx + b. -1/4 is our new "m"

Answer 5

Okay one second. Let me solve this.

Answer 6

Alright.

Answer 7

y = -1/4 x + 5 is the simplfyed equation..?

Answer 8

*simplified

Answer 9

Close, -1/4 * 2 = -1/4 * 2 / 1

Answer 10

y = -2/4 x + 5

Answer 11

..?

Answer 12

you're so close, -2/4 can be simplified a little bit more. If you have 4 slices of pie, and you eat two slices, you've eaten _____ of the pie.

Answer 13

xD Oh god. I'm sorry.
y = -1/2 x + 5

Answer 14

Nice, you got it!

Answer 15

Okay and what about y + 1/4x = 2?

Answer 16

Is it Y=-1.4x + 2

Answer 17

yeah! just subtract -1 /4x like last time to get it into the form y = mx + b.

Answer 18

Thanks for your help!

Answer 19

No problem! Good luck :)
