what is the slope of a line represented by the equation 2y=x-4

Sagot :

We can change it to slope-intercept form(y = mx + b).

2y = x - 4

Divide 2 to both sides:

y = 1/2x - 2

Now it's in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope.

So the slope here is 1/2.
[tex]y=mx+b\\ m - \text{slope}\\\\ 2y=x-4\\ y=\dfrac{1}{2}x-2\\ m=\dfrac{1}{2} [/tex]
