Answer:
B) The slope is negative 1/2 and the y-intercept is (0, 3).
Step-by-step explanation:
First we rewrite the equation so we can easily find the slope and y-intercept. We do this by isolating the y-term:
2x+4y = 12
We want to subtract 2x from each side:
2x+4y-2x = 12-2x
4y = 12-2x
4y = -2x+12
Now we divide both sides by 4 (everything on both sides gets divided!):
4y/4 = -2x/4 + 12/4
y = -2/4x + 3
y = -1/2x + 3
The slope is -1/2 and the y-intercept is 3 (the point (0, 3)).
Her graph shows the y-intercept at (0, 3); this part is correct.
The graph also shows we go down one and over two between points; this is a slope of -1/2, which is correct.
