What is the slope for 4x-2y=17?

Answer 1

4x - 2y = 17

4x - 2y - 4x = - 4x + 17

- 2y = - 4x + 17

- 2y / - 2 = - 4x / - 2 + (17 / - 2)

y = 4/2x + (- 17/2)

y = 2x - 17/2

- - - - - - - -

Slope is 2

- - - - - - -s-

Answer 2

Typically, one can write a linear equation in the format of y=mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

So, let's re-arrange the equation and solve for y.

4x - 2y = 17 so add 2y to each side of the equation and you get:

4x = 2y + 17 Now subtract 17 from each side of the equation and you get:

4x - 17 = 2y Now divide both sides of the eqation by 2 and you get:

y = 2x - 17/2

So, the slope is 2 (based on the y = mx + b format)

Answer 3

What is the slope for 4x - 2y = 17
Convert the equation in the form
y = mx + b
where m = slope
b = y-intercept
_______________

4x - 2y = 17
-2y = -4x + 17
-2y/-2 = -4x/-2 + 17/-2
y = 2x - 17/2

Therefore, the slope is 2

Answer 4

4x - 2y = 17
Re-arrange so that y remains positive,
2y = 4x - 17
y = (4x - 17)/2
= 2x - 17/2

Equation for line: y = mx + c

where m is the slope,

so in this case, the slope, m = 2

Answer 5

the slope is 2 because u simplify by getting y be itself.
so 4x=17-2y
then 4x-17=2y
finally 2x -(17/2)=y so the slope is 2

Answer 6

y = mx +b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

4x - 2y = 17

-2y = -4x +17

y = 2x -17/2

slope is 2

Answer 7

normal linear equation :
y = ax + b

a = slope b = y-intercept

4x - 2y = 17
2y = -4x -17
y = -2x - 17/2

slope = -2

since its negative, ur line is downward sloping

Answer 8

4x-2y=17
-2y=17-4x
-y = 17/2 - 2x
y = 2x - 17/2
So, the slope is 2.

Answer 9

4x-2y=17

or 4x-17=2y

or 2x-8.5=y

so slope =2

Answer 10

4x-2y=17
2y = 4x -17
y = 2x -8.5
Slope = 2
