How do you find the slope and intercept of #-4x+2y=12#?
1 Answer
Slope:
y-intercept:
(x-intercept:
Explanation:
slope
Given an equation in the form
So
Alternately, we could convert the given form
into "slope-intercept form":
y-intercept
If we used the "slope-intercept form" (above) we already have the y-intercept:
otherwise we can determine the y-intercept by finding the value of
x-intercept (note sometimes when "the intercept" is asked for, what is meant is only the y-intercept)
The x-intercept can be determined by find the value of
