+12x + 4y+= − 8

Question

Find the slope and the y -intercept of the line.

Write your answers in simplest form. F

Answer 1

1. Modify your equation into the linear equation (y = mx +b). "m" is known as the slope and "b" as the y-intercept.
2. Simplify the equation by dividing both sides by a common factor so "y" is by itself on one side without a number beside it.
3. Refer to the linear equation (y = mx +b) to find the slope and y-intercept in your new equation.
