Question

How do you change a standard form equation into slope-intercept form for `2x+4y=17`?

Answer 1

By simply rearranging your equation to isolate `y`:
getting: `y=-2/4x+17/4` I took `2x` to the right (changing sign) and divided everything by the coeficiente of `y`;
so:
`y=-1/2x+17/4`
and:
slope=`-1/2`
intercept=`17/4`
