2x + 4y = 12 converted into slope intercept form (y=mx+b)??

Y=-1/2x+3
First you subtract the 2x so it becomes 4y=-2x+12
Then divide everything by 4 because y can't have a constant
so the final answer is y=-1/2x+3

To convert 2x + 4y = 12 into slope-intercept form, we must put it into y = mx + b form, where m represents the slope of the line and b is the y intercept of the equation. To begin, we should subtract 2x from both sides so that we can get the variable y alone on the left side of the equation.

2x + 4y = 12

4y = -2x + 12

Next, because there cannot be a coefficient on the variable y in this form, we must divide both sides of the equation by 4.

y = -2/4x + 3

Because 2 and 4 are both divisible by 2, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2 to further simplify the equation.

y = -1/2x + 3

Therefore, the answer is y = -1/2x + 3.

Hope this helps!

How do you solve an absolute value equation?

Mkey [24]

The distance between two real numbers $x,y$ is the absolute value of their difference, $|x-y|$ . So the statement "all $x$ that are 1/4 away from -6" is captured in the equation

$|x-(-6)|=\dfrac14$

$|x+6|=\dfrac14$

To solve, you can use the definition of absolute value: if $x$ is not negative, then $|x|=x$ ; otherwise, $|x|=-x$ .

So there are two cases to consider:

1. Suppose $x+6\ge0$ . Then $|x+6|=x+6$ , and the equation reduces to

$x+6=\dfrac14\implies x=-\dfrac{23}4$

2. Suppose $x+6$ . Then $|x+6|=-(x+6)=-x-6$ and

$-x-6=\dfrac14\implies x=-\dfrac{25}4$

$-6=-\dfrac{24}4$ , so the two solutions we found are correct because both $-\dfrac{23}4$ and $-\dfrac{25}4$ are indeed 1/4 away from -6.

- - -

For the question regarding inequality, you know that the absolute value must return a non-negative number. In other words, there is no $x$ such that $|x|$ .

If you use squares to approximate area,what do you use to approximate volume?

erik [133]

Answer:

cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

because when you find area you would say 2 meters "squared" but when you find volume you woukd say 2 meters "cubed"
