Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to the graph of the equation -x+2y = 4 ?

Answer 1

first you must solve -x+2y = 4 for y

what do you get when you do this?

Answer 2

y= 1/2x+2

Answer 3

good, this is in y = mx+b form

Answer 4

where

m = 1/2

b = 2

Answer 5

m is the slope, so because m = 1/2, the slope is 1/2

Answer 6

The slope of ANY line parallel to this one is equal to 1/2 (since parallel lines have equal slopes)

Answer 7

so the answer is 1/2?

Answer 8

yep

Answer 9

ok, that was easy. haha. Thanks for the help

Answer 10

sure thing, glad it makes sense
