Question

Find the slope of the graph of the line given by the equation 4x + 2y = 1.

Answer 1

slope = -2

Explanation:

slope of the graph of the line given by the equation can be written as,

y = mx + b

where, m = slope

the given equation is,

4x + 2y = 1

2y = -4x + 1

y = -4x/2 + 1/2

y = -2x + 1/2

thus, slope m = -2
