Math Problem Statement

4x+y=2

Solution

The equation given is:

4x+y=24x + y = 2

This is a linear equation in two variables, xx and yy. To solve it, we need additional information, such as another equation if we're looking for specific values of xx and yy, or we can express one variable in terms of the other.

Solving for yy in terms of xx:

  1. Isolate yy on one side: y=24xy = 2 - 4x

This result represents the line defined by the equation 4x+y=24x + y = 2 in slope-intercept form, where the slope is 4-4 and the y-intercept is 22.

Would you like further details on this, or do you have any additional questions?


  1. How do we graph 4x+y=24x + y = 2?
  2. How do we find the slope and y-intercept from this form?
  3. How can we find a specific solution if given a value for xx?
  4. How would we solve this equation if paired with another equation (system of equations)?
  5. How can we convert this form into standard form or slope-intercept form?

Tip: Linear equations with two variables represent lines on a coordinate plane.
