How do you find the slope of #-2x+4y=6#?

Answer 1

Abigail Allen

#"slope "=1/2#

#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.

#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#

#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#

#"rearrange "-2x+4y=6" into this form"#

#"add "2x" to both sides"#

#4y=2x+6#

#"divide all terms by 4"#

#y=1/2x+3/2larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#

#"with slope "=1/2#

To find the slope of the equation -2x + 4y = 6, rearrange it into slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m represents the slope. Then, solve for y to isolate it on one side of the equation. Once in slope-intercept form, the coefficient of x will represent the slope. Therefore, the slope of the given equation is 1/2.

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.
