Math Problem Statement
4x+2y=10
Solution
The equation you provided is:
This is a linear equation in two variables, and . You can solve for one variable in terms of the other or express it in slope-intercept form.
Solving for :
-
Subtract from both sides:
-
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for :
So, the equation is now in the slope-intercept form . The slope of the line is and the y-intercept is .
If you need to find specific values of and , you would either need another equation or a specific value of one variable to substitute and solve.
Would you like more details on any of these steps?
Here are 5 related questions to consider:
- What is the graphical representation of this linear equation?
- How do you find the x- and y-intercepts for this equation?
- How can you solve this system if given another linear equation?
- What is the slope and how does it relate to the steepness of the line?
- Can this equation be solved using matrices or other methods?
Tip: Always verify the form of a linear equation when graphing, as different forms (like standard vs slope-intercept) make certain features easier to identify.
