Math Problem Statement

Convert each equation to slope intercept form: A) 2x + 2y = 10 B) 12 + 4y = -4x

Solution

The task is to convert the given equations into slope-intercept form, which is of the form y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope, and bb is the y-intercept.

Let's work through both equations:

A) 2x+2y=102x + 2y = 10

  1. To convert this into slope-intercept form, isolate yy on one side. 2y=2x+102y = -2x + 10
  2. Now, divide both sides by 2 to solve for yy: y=x+5y = -x + 5 So, the slope-intercept form for A is y=x+5y = -x + 5.

B) 12+4y=4x12 + 4y = -4x

  1. First, subtract 12 from both sides: 4y=4x124y = -4x - 12
  2. Now, divide the entire equation by 4 to isolate yy: y=x3y = -x - 3 So, the slope-intercept form for B is y=x3y = -x - 3.

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. What is the slope and y-intercept for equation A?
  2. How would you graph the line for equation B?
  3. Can you find the x-intercept for both equations?
  4. What happens if you change the slope in these equations?
  5. How do parallel lines relate to their slopes?

Tip: To quickly identify the slope, look at the coefficient of xx after converting to slope-intercept form.
