Answer:

The slope is 1/2 and the y intercept is 7/4

Explanation:

2x-4y+7=0

To find the slope, we need to put the equation in slope intercept form

y = mx+b

So we need to solve for y

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-2x-4y+7=0-2x

-4y +7 = -2x

Subtract -7

-4y+7-7 = -2x-7

-4y = -2x-7

Divide by -4

-4y/-4 = -2x/-4 -7/-4

y = 1/2 x +7/4

The slope is 1/2 and the y intercept is 7/4
