Help plz..!!!
which is the slope of the line with equation 2x + y = 4
2
1/2
-2
-1/2
the slope-intercept form is so called because for y=mx+b the slope is m.
So, since you have
2x+y=4,
y = -2x+4
So, ...
i still don't know how to solve it?
i only know how to find slopes on graphs not by equation
If the slope is m in Steve's equation above, what is the position of m in the slope intercept form? That is the value of the slope.
OK, if you graph it, can you then determine the slope?
How much does y change if you add 1 to x?
That is the slope.
To find the slope of the line with the equation 2x + y = 4, you need to rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form, which is in the form y = mx + b, where m represents the slope.
Let's rearrange the given equation:
2x + y = 4
First, subtract 2x from both sides to isolate the y variable:
y = -2x + 4
Now the equation is in the form y = mx + b, where the slope (m) is -2. Therefore, the slope of the line is -2.
So, the correct answer is -2.
