Question

What are the steps to find the slope and y-intercept of the equation 16x - 4y = -32?

Answer 1

Slope = 4

Explanation:

16x - 4y = -32

-16x . -16x

-4y = -32 - 16x

/-4 . /-4

y = 8 + 4x

Answer 2

slope = 4

y-intercept = 8

Explanation:

First convert the equation into the form

y = mx + c

where m is the slope, and c is the y intercept

16x - 4y = -32

16x + 32 = 4y

4y = 16x + 32

y = 4x + 8

m = 4

c = 8
