You can put this solution on YOUR website!
4x + 4y = 4
4y = -4x + 4
y+=+-x+%2B+1 first equation
x + y = 1
y+=+-x+%2B+1 second equation

Equation 4+x+%2B+4+y+=+4 describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is -a%2Fb+=+-4%2F4.
  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 4/4 = 1.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 4/4 = 1.
  • Slope is -4/4 = -1.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-1*x+1.

Equation 1+x+%2B+1+y+=+1 describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is -a%2Fb+=+-1%2F1.
  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 1/1 = 1.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 1/1 = 1.
  • Slope is -1/1 = -1.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-1*x+1.
