Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation : a) 4x-2y = 3​

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operations and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplications

Divisions

Additions

Subtraction

First, subtract 4x from both sides of the equation:

4x (-4x) -2y = (-4x) + 3

-2y = -4x + 3

Next, divide -2 from both sides of the equations:

`((-2y))/(-2) = ((-4x + 3))/(-2)`

`y = (-4)/(-2)x + (3)/(-2)`

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

`y = 2x - (3)/(2)` is your answer.
