Question

Somebody please help!!!

Solve this problem and put it into slope-intercept form.

x - 4y = 2

which is

y = 1/4x - 1/2

Now I know that this basically means that the slope is 1/4 or 1 over 4 but how do I graph the -1/2 part?

Answer 1

Are you working this problem: y = 1/4x - 1/2
or
the one above it?

Answer 2

That is the problem above but put into slope-intercept form. So yeah, I'm working with
y= 1/4 x+ −1/2

Answer 3

y = 1/4x - 1/2

Answer 4

This --> y = 1/4x - 1/2

is not what you get when you solve for y on this -->x + 2y = 8

Answer 5

x + 2y = 8

2y + x = 8

2y = -x + 8

y = (-1/2) * x + 4 is what I get when solving for y in the top equation.

Answer 6

Whoops. :/ Mistake on my part. The equation is supposed to be x - 4y = 2
