A line is represented by the equation x + 2y=4. What is the slope of the line with that equation?

The slope is - 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y=4

Lets get the equation in the form y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

x + 2y=4

Subtract x from each side

x-x+2y = - x+4

2y = - x+4

Divide each side by 2

2y/2 = - 1/2 x + 4/2

y = - 1/2x + 2

The slope is - 1/2

the slope is 1
