Question

Rewrite the following equation of a line to express it in slope-intercept form:

4x - 2y = 14
A:2y=14-4x
B:x=5y+3.5
C:y=2x-7
D:y=-2x-7

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given

4x - 2y = 14 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

- 2y = - 4x + 14 ( divide through by - 2 )

y = 2x - 7 ← in slope- intercept form
