Answer: y = (-1/2)x - 9/2
Slope = -1/2
Y intercept = -9/2
=====================================================
Work Shown:
2x + 4y = -18
2(x+2y) = -18 .... factor out 2
x+2y = -18/2 .... divide both sides by 2
x+2y = -9
2y = -9-x .... subtract x from both sides
2y = -x-9
y = (-x-9)/2 ... divide both sides by 2
y = (-x/2) - (9/2) ... break up the fraction
y = (-1/2)x - 9/2
The last equation is in slope intercept form y = mx+b with m = -1/2 as the slope and b = -9/2 as the y intercept.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 4y = -18
2(x+2y) = -18 .... factor out 2
x+2y = -18/2 .... divide both sides by 2
x+2y = -9
2y = -9-x .... subtract x from both sides
2y = -x-9
y = (-x-9)/2 ... divide both sides by 2
y = (-x/2) - (9/2) ... break up the fraction
y = (-1/2)x - 9/2
The last equation is in slope intercept form y = mx+b with m = -1/2 as the slope and b = -9/2 as the y intercept.
