Question

What is the slope of the graph of 4 x + 8 y = 11?

A. -2

B. -1/2

C. 1/2

D. 2

Answer 1

B is the answer to this question. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

B -1/2

Explanation:

4x+8y = 11

We need to get the equation in the slope intercept form

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

Subtract 4x from each side

4x-4x+8y = -4x+11

8y = -4x+11

Divide by 8

8y/8 = -4x/8 +11/8

y = -1/2x +11/8

The slope is -1/2 and the y intercept is 11/8
