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 , where is the slope, and is the y-intercept.
Let's work through both equations:
A)
- To convert this into slope-intercept form, isolate on one side.
- Now, divide both sides by 2 to solve for : So, the slope-intercept form for A is .
B)
- First, subtract 12 from both sides:
- Now, divide the entire equation by 4 to isolate : So, the slope-intercept form for B is .
Would you like any additional details or explanations?
Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
- What is the slope and y-intercept for equation A?
- How would you graph the line for equation B?
- Can you find the x-intercept for both equations?
- What happens if you change the slope in these equations?
- How do parallel lines relate to their slopes?
Tip: To quickly identify the slope, look at the coefficient of after converting to slope-intercept form.
