Answer:

m=-8

b=-24

Explanation:

Given -32x-4y=96

Simplify -8x-y=24

Rearrange y=-8x-24

Compare to the slope-intercept form of y=mx+b

m=-8

b=-24

Answer:

m = -8

b = -24

Explanation:

To solve this problem use the hint and put this equation in y = mx + b form. This is called slope-intercept form.

In slope-intercept form, the coefficient of x (which is m) is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept of the line.

  • -32x - 4y = 96

Add 32x to both sides of the equation.

  • -4y = 32x + 96

Divide both sides of the equation by -4.

  • y = -8x - 24

Comparing this to y = mx + b, the -8 is "m" and -24 is "b". Therefore your final answers are:

m = -8

b = -24
