Question

18x + 4y = 112 can anyone help me with this problem need to find slope and the y-intercept

Answer 1

Solve y.

Once you have the equation in the form

y=mx+b

which is called the slope-intercept form, then m = slope, and b = y-intercept.

Start by subtracting the 18x from both sides of the equation.

Can you subtract 18x from both sides?

No. You can combine together -18x and 112 because they are not like terms. The -18x has the x in it. The 112 has no x in it.

Since we can't combine together the -18x and 112, we just write them down.

We only have 4y on the left side, but we need just y.
Since y is being multiplied by 4, we divide both sides by 4.
Now compare what we got with y = mx + b.

What is m, the slope?
What is b, the y-intercept?

Answer 2

so I don't get it whats the anwer??

Answer 3

i think m is 6?? :O

Answer 4

i honestly don't know :(

Answer 5

my screen is to slow it wont let me see the info you sent me

Answer 6

'-' ok hold on

Answer 7

sorry...

Answer 8

divide 112 on both sides

Answer 9

then it will be convereted to two intercept form
