Question

2y = -1x -8
rewrite each of the following equations in y= mc + b form

Answer 1

Answer: y=-1x-8

Explanation:

The first step is to: Move the 'X' to the right side of the equation.

The second step is to: Divide the 'Y'

But since the 'X' is already on the right side you will just divide the 'Y'. If the 'X' was on the left then you will follow those steps that I gave you at the beginning in order to get it in the y=mx+b.

So it will look like this:

2y=-1x-8

y=-1x-8

y= -1(is the slope)x-8(is the Y-intercept)

So, if you have to graph this you will graph it starting with negative 8 as the y-intercept. Then you will go down one and over 1.
