Question

How do you find the slope of `-2x+4y=6`?

Answer 1

`"slope "=1/2`

Explanation:

`"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"` is.

`•color(white)(x)y=mx+b`

`"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"`

`"rearrange "-2x+4y=6" into this form"`

`"add "2x" to both sides"`

`4y=2x+6`

`"divide all terms by 4"`

`y=1/2x+3/2larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"`

`"with slope "=1/2`
