Question

How do you calculate the slope, x intercept, and y intercept of the following equation: `2y=4x -2`?

Answer 1

You can divide everything (at both sides) by `2`

Explanation:

`->y=2x-1`
Which will give you `2` as the slope and `(0,-1)` as the `y`-intercept.

The `x`-intercept is when `y=0`
`0=2x-1->2x=1->x=1/2->(1/2,0)`
graph{2x-1 [-11.25, 11.25, -5.625, 5.625]}
