Question

Sole for y intercept and slope -2x -4y=12

Answer 1

y-intercept: -3

slope: -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

- 2x - 4y = 12

To know the y-intercept and slope we need to solve for y, so we get:

`\begin{gathered} -2x-4y=12 \\ -2x-4y+2x=12+2x \\ -4y=12+2x \\ \\ (-4y)/(-4)=(12)/(-4)+(2x)/(-4) \\ \\ y=-3-(1)/(2)x \end{gathered}`

Then, the y-intercept is the constant and the slope is the number besides x, so the answer is

y-intercept: -3

slope: -1/2
