The greatest common factor is 2
This is because we start by taking the largest factor that goes into both coefficients. Since the first coefficient is 2, we have to try 2 and 1. Since 2 is larger and goes into 36 evenly, we use that.
Then we use the smallest number of each variable. There are 4 r's in both equations. So, that is the number that we take. There are 2 s's in the first term, so we take that number.
Given:
The equation of a line is
To find:
The slope and y-intercept of the line.
Solution:
We have,
...(i)
The slope intercept form of a line is
...(ii)
Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get
Slope of the line = 1
y-intercept of the line = -4
The coordinate form of y-intercept is (0,b). So, the y-intercept of the given line is (0,-4).
Therefore, the slope of the line is 1 and the y-intercept is (0,-4).
