How do you find the slope and y intercept for # 1/2x+1/4y=3#?

Answer 1

Slope #m=-2#;
Y intercept #=12#

I would write it into Slope-Intercept form by isolating #y# on one side as: #y=-2x+12# Now it is in the form: #y=mx+c# Where #m=-2# is the slope and #c=12# is the y intercept.

To find the slope and y-intercept for the equation 1/2x + 1/4y = 3, rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

First, isolate y by subtracting 1/2x from both sides:

1/4y = -1/2x + 3

Then, multiply both sides by 4 to eliminate the fraction:

y = -2x + 12

Now, you can see that the slope (m) is -2 and the y-intercept (b) is 12.

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.
