SOLUTION: Find slope if it exists. x +2y = 4 I subtract x from both sides 2y = 4 - x I then divide by 2 y= - 2 Is this correct? I divided both sides by -2: 2y/2 = 4-x/2

Question 352409: Find slope if it exists. x +2y = 4
I subtract x from both sides
2y = 4 - x
I then divide by 2
y= - 2
Is this correct? I divided both sides by -2: 2y/2 = 4-x/2

Start with the given equation.

Subtract from both sides.

Rearrange the terms.

Divide both sides by to isolate y.

Break up the fraction.

Reduce.

So the equation is now in slope intercept form where the slope is and the y-intercept is note: the y-intercept is the point
