Question

A line is represented by the equation x+2y=4.what is the slope of the line with that equation

Answer 1

Miguel, this is the solution:

We have the equation:

x + 2y = 4

Let's write it in the form:

y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line.

x + 2y = 4

2y = -x + 4

Dividing by 2 at both sides:

2y/2 = -x/2 + 4/2

y = -x/2 + 2

The slope of the line is -1/2
