Question

Find the slope intercept form of 24 = 4y - 8x

Answer 1

y=2x+6

Explanation:

Step 1) Add 8x to each side of the equation.

24=4y-8x

+8x +8x

8x+24=4y

Step 2) Divide all terms by 4 to isolate y

2x+6=y

Optional: Flip equation

y=2x+6

Answer 2

y = 2x + 6

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + c ,

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

So we have to make our equation look similar to the one above.

We can do this by isolating y, by adding 8x to both sides:

4y = 24 + 8x

Now divide both sides of the equation by 4:

y = 6 + 2x

∴ y = 2x + 6

This equation is of the same form as the one given above, so this will be our solution.
