Question

What is the slope of the line 4x - 8y = 16 ?*

Answer 1

Explanation:

4x - 8y = 16

8y = 4x - 16

y = 0.5x - 2

Hence the slope is 0.5.

Answer 2

1/2

Explanation:

Slope from a standard form equation is
`-(A)/(B)`.

A is 4 and B is -8.

`-(A)/(B)=(-4)/(-8)= \boxed{(1)/(2)}`

Hope this helps.
