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#

To change the standard form equation 2x + 4y = 17 into slope-intercept form:

Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation: 4y = -2x + 17.
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate y: y = (-2/4)x + 17/4.
Simplify: y = (-1/2)x + 17/4.

So, the equation in slope-intercept form is y = (-1/2)x + 17/4.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
