Question

Find the slope x intercept and y intercept of each line

Answer 1

The given equation of a line is,

`y=2x+4\text{ ----(1)}`

The general standard equation of a line is,

`y=mx+c\text{ ------(2)}`

Here, m is the slope and c is the y intercept of the line.

Comparing equations (1) and (2), we get

`\begin{gathered} m=2 \\ c=4 \end{gathered}`

To find the x intercept of the line, put y=0 in equation (1) and solve for x.

`\begin{gathered} 0=2x+4 \\ 2x=-4 \\ x=(-4)/(2) \\ x=-2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the slope of the line is 2. The y intercept is 4 and the x intercept is -2.
