Question 54874
state the slope & y intercept of the graph of each equation
2x-4y=10
First put the equation into slope intercept form {{{highlight(y=mx+b)}}}, where m=slope and (0,b)=y-intercept:
{{{2x-4y=10}}}
{{{-2x+2x-4y=-2x+10}}}
{{{-4y=-2x+10}}}
{{{-4y/-4=-2x/-4+10/-4}}} (the fractions on the right reduce by a factor of 2)
{{{y=(1/2)x-5/2}}}
{{{y=highlight((1/2))x-5/2}}}  The slope=m=1/2
{{{y=(1/2)x+highlight(-5/2)}}} The y-intercept=(0,b)=(0,-5/2)
Happy Calculating!!!
