Find the slope and y-intercept of 2x+4y-1=0
:
Put the equation in the slope intercept form (y = mx + b)
where m = slope and b = y intercept
:
2x + 4y - 1 = 0
:
4y - 1 = -2x; subtract 2x from both sides
:
4y = -2x + 1; add 1 to both sides
:
y = -2%2F4x + 1%2F4; divide both sides by 4
:
y = -1%2F2x + 1%2F4
