Write the equation in slope-intercept form. Then, give the values of m and b.

−2x−4y=28
------------------------------------------------

(Write each value as an integer or a reduced fraction. Do not use decimals or mixed numbers)

y = mx + b

Respuesta :

Remember that slope-intercept form is y=mx+b.

First, add 2x on each side to get [tex]-4y=2x+28[/tex]

Then, divide by -4 on each side, and the equation will be [tex]y=- \frac{1}{2} x-7[/tex]


Looking back in the equation y=mx+b, comparing it to [tex]y=- \frac{1}{2} x-7[/tex], we see that [tex]m=- \frac{1}{2} [/tex] and b = -7.
