Question

Determine the slope and y-intercept. 4x + y = -10

Answer 1

slope m=-4

y intercepts (0,-10)

Explanation:

Answer 2

slope = -4

y-intercept = -10

Explanation:

First, isolate the y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 4x from both sides:

4x + y = -10

4x (-4x) + y = -10 (-4x)

y = -4x - 10

Note the slope intercept form: y = mx + b

y = y

m = slope = -4

x = x

b = y-intercept = -10
