Question

What is 2x - 4y=12 in slope form

Answer 1

y =
`(1)/(2)` x - 3

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

given the equation

2x - 4y = 12 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 4y = - 2x + 12 ( divide through by - 4 )

`(-4)/(-4)` y =
`(-2)/(-4)` x +
`(12)/(-4)` , that is

y =
`(1)/(2)` x - 3 ← in slope- intercept form
