Q. Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.2x+4y=−16Answer:
Subtract 2x from both sides: Isolate the y-term on one side of the equation.To do this, we will subtract 2x from both sides of the equation 2x+4y=−16.Calculation: 4y=−2x−16
Divide all terms by 4: Divide all terms by the coefficient of y to solve for y. The coefficient of y is 4, so we will divide each term by 4 to isolate y. Calculation: y=4−2x−16
Simplify the equation: Simplify the equation by dividing each term inside the parentheses by 4.Calculation: y=(−42)x+(−416)
Simplify the fractions: Simplify the fractions.Calculation: y=(−21)x−4
