To find the x-intercept, we need to set y equal to 0 and solve for x.
Plugging in y = 0 into the equation, we have:
4x - 2(0) = -7
4x = -7
Dividing both sides by 4, we find:
x = -7/4
So the x-intercept is -7/4.
To find the slope of the line, we need to put the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope.
Starting with the given equation:
4x - 2y = -7
Subtracting 4x from both sides, we have:
- 2y = -4x - 7
Dividing both sides by -2, we find:
y = 2x + 7/2
Comparing this equation with y = mx + b, we see that the slope is 2.
So the slope of the line is 2.
Find the -intercept and the slope of the line.
4x-2y=-7
