Give the slope and y- intercept of the following equation of a line: x-4y+2= 18

Solution

x -4y +2 = 18

converting the above equation in slope intercept form :y = mx +c

x-4y = 16 ---> 4y = x -16

y = x/4 - 4

Slope : m = 1/4

x intercept : plug y=0 ; x/4 -4 =0 ---> x = 16

y intercept : plug x=0 ; y = -4
