Question

How do you calculate the slope, x intercept, and y intercept of the following equation: `x + 4y = 4`?

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

We have, `x+4y=4`
Re-arranging the terms,we get,
`y=-frac{1}4 xxx+1`
Comparing this to the general equation of the form `y=mx +c` where `c` indicates the `y-"intercept"` and `m` the slope,we get,
`m`=slope =`-frac{1}4` and `c`=y-intercept=1

If you put in `y`=0 in the main equation,you get `x`=4.
