What is the slope and y intercept of 2x+2y-4=4x+2?

Step 1. The equation in slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept when x=0 or at point (0,b).

Step 2. Put the given equation 2x+2y-4=4x+2 in slope-intercept form with the following steps.

Add 4-2x to both sides of the equation to get 2y by itself on the left side

Divide by 2 to both sides of the equation

Step 3. ANSWER: Comparing with yields that the slope m=1 and the y-intercept is b=3.

I hope the above steps were helpful.

You want the problem to look like this to find slope any y intercept:
y=mx+b
(m=slope)(b=y-int)

Now, you would move the 2x from the left side to the right side of the equation by subtracting.

combine like terms on the right side of the equation by adding the x's together.

Next, you would do the same thing with the -4.

Then, combine like terms again

Now, get y by itself completely by dividing 2 on both sides of the equation

After you simplify

Now, you can determine the slope and y intercept
slope(m)= 1
y intercept(b)=-3
