how do i put find the slope of linear equations by putting them in to slope-intercept form? i.e) 2x-4y=3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The slope/intercept form: y = mx + b; where m is the slope
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 4y = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 2x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-4y = -2x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 4
\n" ); document.write( "-y = \"-2%2F4\"x + \"3%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "y has to be positive, multiply both sides by -1
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"2%2F4\"x - \"3%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "reduce the fraction
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"1%2F2\"x - \"3%2F4\"; this is the slope/intercept form, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "slope (m) = \"1%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
