Question

What is the correct order of steps to change 4x+2y=14 from standard to slope intercept form

Answer 1

Slope intercept form is y = -2x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

• Step 1: The original equation is 4x + 2y = 14.
• Step 2: Rearrange so that x is first in the right hand side of the equation.

⇒ 2y = - 4x + 14

• Step 3: Subtract 4x from both sides of the equation.

⇒ 2y = 14 - 4x

• Step 4: Divide both sides of the equation by 2 so that coefficient of y is 1.

⇒ y = - 2x + 7

This is the slope intercept form y = mx + b
