Question

Find the slope and y-intercept of the line
14x+4y=24

anonymous · Answer

Do you know what slope intercept form look like?

anonymous · Answer

yes I do know but it just confuses me so much trying to flip things around and I honestly don't know how to do this. and Rhystic; you honestly didn't help me.

rhystic · Answer

hmm. so you understand y = mx + b correct?

anonymous · Answer

Crosses the y-axis  @ 6

anonymous · Answer

Yes I do.

anonymous · Answer

how about graph the line using this graphing calculator
Desmos.com and then using two points from the line figure out the slope =)

rhystic · Answer

basically solve for y....  14x + 4y = 24 -> 4y = 24 - 14x -> y = 24/4 - 14/4x   to put it completely in y = mx + b form -> y = -(14/4)x + 6

anonymous · Answer

but in order to graph it I would need it in y=mx+b form

anonymous · Answer

nope all you do is type that equation ^^^^^ in the calculator and it will graph it =)

rhystic · Answer

youre simply subtracting 14x from both sides and then dividing 4 on both sides to get y isolated on one side of the equation yielding a y = mx +b form.
