Question

What is the slope-intercept form of `2y+4x=20`?

Answer 1

The slope is `-2` the intercept is `10`.

Explanation:

You first have to put the equation in the format

`y=mx+q`

I start movint everything with the `y` on the left and everything else on the right, remebering that if I pass "accross" the `=` I have to change sign.

`2y+4x=20`

`2y=-4x+20`

now I divide by two both sides of the equation to remove the 2 in front of the `y`.

`y=-2x+10`.

Now it is in the format `y=mx+q` where `m=-2` is the slope and `q=10` is the intercept.
