Question

4x-2y=7 in slope intercept form. I keep getting a fraction for y

Answer 1

could you show me your work? what you got?

Answer 2

4x-2y=7
-2y=-4x+7
-2y=-4/2x+7/2
y=-4/2x+7/2

Answer 3

Y=mx+b

Answer 4

you almost have it.
-2y = -4x + 7
Now divide both sides by -2. This leaves y by itself. -4 divided by -2 is ___. You would simplify leave 7 divided by -2 alone. The y-intercept (b) is -(7/2)

Answer 5

ok so the slope would be 2/1 and b= 7/2 so i would just plot that as a point or i have to find 7/2 on my graph

Answer 6

as a fraction

Answer 7

yes in slope-intercept form it would be: y = 2x - (7/2). Do you actually have to graph it or just find it in slope-intercept form?

Answer 8

no i dont have to graph i was given two lines and i have to decide it they are parallel perpendicular, or neither the other line is y=-4x+2

Answer 9

its neither right?

Answer 10

tell me why you think its neither

Answer 11

so if they are parallel they have the same slope? i cant remember what the parameters were for them being perpendicular

Answer 12

Im a little rusty

Answer 13

ok. do you have to draw it by hand or are you allowed to graph it on a calculator?

Answer 14

I dont have to draw it i just have to state what it is

Answer 15

Ok, by graphing it on a calculator, the lines intersect meaning its perpendicular.
