Question

8x+4y=12 what is the slope intercept form

Answer 1

The slope intercept is -2

Explanation:

The first thing you want to do is get y alone. To do so you have to subtract 8 from both sides. You will then get 4y= -8x + 12. Then you have to divide 4 from other sides. You will then get y = -2x + 3. In terms of y= mx + b, the slope intercept will always be your m, in this case the m is -2. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

y = -2x +3

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We need to solve the equation for y

8x+4y =12

Subtract 8x from each side

8x-8x+4y =-8x+12

4y = -8x+12

Divide each side by 4

4y/4 = -8x/4 +12/4

y = -2x +3

This is slope intercept form
