Let's solve each question step by step.
Question 1
Rewrite the equation \(-4x + y = 5\) in slope-intercept form (\(y = mx + b\)):
- Add \(4x\) to both sides: \[ y = 4x + 5 \]
Now the equation is in slope-intercept form, where \(m\) (the slope) is \(4\).
Answer: m = 4
Question 2
Rewrite the equation \(6x - 2y = -14\) in slope-intercept form:
-
Subtract \(6x\) from both sides: \[ -2y = -6x - 14 \]
-
Divide every term by \(-2\): \[ y = 3x + 7 \]
Now, the equation is in slope-intercept form, where \(m\) (the slope) is \(3\).
Answer: m = 3
Question 3
Rewrite the equation \(x + y = -2\) in slope-intercept form:
- Subtract \(x\) from both sides: \[ y = -x - 2 \]
In this form, the y-intercept (\(b\)) is \(-2\).
Answer: -2
Summary of Answers:
- m = 4
- m = 3
- -2
