Question 762564
-2x - 4y = 4

Divide each side by 2

-2x/2 = -1x

-4y/2 = -2y

4/2 = 2

Therefore we now have:

-1x - 2y = 2

Add +1x to each side of the equation.

-1x - 2y + 1x = 2 + 1x

Combine like terms:

-1x + 1x = 0

-2y = 2 + 1x

Divide each term by -1

-2y/-1 = 2y

2/-1 = -2

1x/-1 = -1x

Therefore:

2y = -2 - 1x

Divide each side by 2

2y/2 = y

-2/2 = -1

-1x/2 = -1x/2

Slope intercept form:

y = mx + b


Answer:

y = -1x/2 - 1
