Math Problem Statement

Solve the equation 4x + 2y + 2 = 0

Solution

The equation in the image appears to be:

4x+2y+2=04x + 2y + 2 = 0

This is a linear equation in two variables, xx and yy. We can solve for yy in terms of xx to express it in slope-intercept form.

Let's solve this step-by-step:

4x+2y+2=04x + 2y + 2 = 0

  1. Subtract 2 from both sides:

4x+2y=24x + 2y = -2

  1. Now, isolate yy. First, subtract 4x4x from both sides:

2y=4x22y = -4x - 2

  1. Finally, divide through by 2:

y=2x1y = -2x - 1

So, the equation of the line is y=2x1y = -2x - 1. This is a straight line with a slope of 2-2 and a y-intercept of 1-1.
