Question

What is the slope and y-intercept -4x+2y=-2

Answer 1

Slope: 2

Y-intercept: (0, -1) or - 1

Explanation:

Given the linear equation, -4x + 2y = -2:

Transform the given equation into its slope-intercept form, y = mx + b:

-4x + 2y = -2

Add 4x to both sides:

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

2y = 4x - 2

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y:

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

y = 2x - 1 ⇒ This is the slope-intercept form where the slope, m = 2, and the y-intercept is (0, -1).
