Given the linear equation 2x + 4y - 8 = 0. State the ...

- slope

- y-intercept

- x-intercept

2x + 4y - 8 = 0 ... if we put this in y = mx + b form, we will have the slope in the m position and the y int in the b position

4y = - 2x + 8

y = - 1/2x + 2 ... so the slope is - 1/2 and the y int is 2 or (0,2)

the x int can be found by subbing in 0 for y and solving for x

4y = - 2x + 8

4 (0) = - 2x + 8

2x = 8

x = 8/2

x = 4 ... so the x int is 4 or (4,0)

* * little tip ... u can also find the y int by subbing in 0 for x and solving for y ... but u wouldn't have the slope

I kind of need to draw this one wait ...

Was that what u r looking for?
