I need help with this problem.
Directions: Write each equation in slope interccept form
x+y=-4
slope intercept form:
y=mx+b
so solve the equation you have for y. I would subtract x from both sides.
Is the answer -4x
I mean -3x
No.
x+y=4
y= -x+4
To write the equation x + y = -4 in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.
1. Start with the original equation: x + y = -4
2. Move the x term to the other side by subtracting x from both sides:
y = -x - 4
3. Simplify the equation by rearranging the terms in descending order:
y = -1x - 4
4. We can simplify further by dropping the coefficient 1 in front of x:
y = -x - 4
Therefore, the equation x + y = -4 in slope-intercept form is y = -x - 4.
