Question

how do you find the slope and y-intercept of x=-4y

Answer 1

Can you get the equation into slope-intercept form?

Answer 2

I do not know how to do that for this equation.

Answer 3

Alright, here's a hint: You can divide by -4 to both sides to isolate y!

Answer 4

would it be \[\frac{ x }{ -4 }=y\]

Answer 5

Yup! Now, do you think you got the slope?

Answer 6

is the slope -4?

Answer 7

\[y=-\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x+0\]
compare with y=mx+c
herec=0,m=?

Answer 8

Very close! It would be -1/4

Answer 9

ok ant y-intercept would be 0 right

Answer 10

Yup! That is correct :)

Answer 11

thanks

Answer 12

No problem!
