Question

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions. 4x+2y=−18

Answer 1

y = -2x - 9

Explanation:

To transform the following equation into its slope-intercept form, y = mx + b:

4x + 2y = −18

Subrtact 4x from both sides:

4x − 4x + 2y = − 4x −18

2y = − 4x −18

Divide both sides by 2:

2y = − 4x −18

`(2y)/(2) = (-4x - 18)/(2)`

y = -2x - 9
