what is the y-intercept of the graph of 4x-2y=10

Question

what is the answer.

Answer 1

Write the equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is y -intercept.

The equation is 4x  - 2y = 10

Subtract 4x  from each side.

-2y  = 10 - 4x

Divide each side by negative 2.

y  = 2x - 5

Compare the equation with slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

slope = 2 and y -intercept is -5.

y -intercept is -5, so the line crosses the y -axis at (0, -5).

Using slope find the next point.

Slope = rise/run = 2

Start at point (0, -5), move 2 units up and 1 unit right, then plot the point (1, -3).

Draw a line through these points.
