what are the slope and y intercept of the line 4y = -x - 32?1. slope: -1 y intercept: -322. slope: -8 y intercept: -1/43. slope: -1/4 y intercept: -324. slope: -1/4 y intercept: -8

Respuesta :

To answer this question, we need to rewrite the given equation is the slope-intercept form, that is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Then, we have:

[tex]4y=-x-32\Rightarrow\frac{4}{4}y=-\frac{x}{4}-\frac{32}{4}\Rightarrow y=-\frac{x}{4}-8[/tex]

We divide the whole equation by 4.

Thus, having this equation, we can see that:

[tex]m=-\frac{1}{4},x=0\Rightarrow y=-8[/tex]

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0, and this value is y = -8.

Therefore, the slope is m = -1/4, and the y-intercept is y = -8 (option 4).
