Question 448782: x=2y=4
the directions are rewrite each linear equation in slope intercept for. Name the sow and y-intercept ad sketch the graph.
i have no clue how to do this. im on home bound. which means im out of school for the rest of the year. my teachers send me work but i have no clue how to do it. please help! can you show your work too. so ill know how to do the other questions by myself?!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I presume the equation ius x+2y =4
write in the form y = mx +b
x+2y=4
-x on both sides
x-x+2y= 4-x
2y=4-x
/2
y=2-1/2 * x
y = -1/2 x +2
compare with y= mx+b. where m is the slope and b= y intercept.
m= -1/2 theslope. y intercept = b = 2
y==-1/2 x +2
when x=0, y=2 . ( 0,2)
when y=0 x=4 . (4,0)
Plot the points draw the line . you are done
