Math Problem Statement

4y-2x=16

Solution

The given equation is:

4y2x=164y - 2x = 16

We can rewrite this equation in different forms or solve for one variable in terms of the other. Let's isolate yy to express the equation in slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept.

Solving for yy:

4y=2x+16(adding 2x to both sides)4y = 2x + 16 \quad (\text{adding } 2x \text{ to both sides})

y=2x+164(dividing both sides by 4)y = \frac{2x + 16}{4} \quad (\text{dividing both sides by } 4)

y=2x4+164y = \frac{2x}{4} + \frac{16}{4}

y=12x+4y = \frac{1}{2}x + 4

So, the equation in slope-intercept form is:

y=12x+4y = \frac{1}{2}x + 4

This means the slope m=12m = \frac{1}{2} and the y-intercept b=4b = 4.
