Answer:
2
Explanation:
Rearrange:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
-2*y-(-4*x+5)=0
STEP 1:
Pulling out like terms
1.1 Pull out like factors :
-2y + 4x - 5 = -1 • (2y - 4x + 5)
Equation at the end of step 1:
STEP 2:
Equation of a Straight Line
2.1 Solve -2y+4x-5 = 0
"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.
In this formula :
y tells us how far up the line goes
x tells us how far along
m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is
b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis
The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line -2y+4x-5 = 0 and calculate its properties
Graph of a Straight Line :
Calculate the Y-Intercept :
Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 5/-2 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y=-2.50000
y-intercept = 5/-2 = -2.50000
Calculate the X-Intercept :
When y = 0 the value of x is 5/4 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x= 1.25000
x-intercept = 5/4 = 1.25000
Calculate the Slope :
Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is -2.500 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 1.500. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 1.500 - (-2.500) = 4.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)
Slope = 2
Geometric figure: Straight Line
Slope = 2
x-intercept = 5/4 = 1.25000
y-intercept = 5/-2 = -2.50000
