Question

What are the slope and y-intercept of the line 4y = -x - 32?

Answer 1

slope = -
`(1)/(4)` , y- intercept = - 8

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

given

4y = - x - 32 ( divide through by 4 )

y = -
`(1)/(4)` x - 8 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = -
`(1)/(4)` and y- intercept c = - 8
