Question

Write the slope of x+2y=16 pls help fast

Answer 1

Explanation:

x+2y=16

-× -×

2y=-x+16

÷2. ÷2

y=-1/2x+8

slope is -1/2

Answer 2

Answer:
`-(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

To find the slope, let's turn the equation into slope-interept form. In slope intercept form, y=mx+b, we know that m=slope.

`x+2y=16` [subtract both sides by x]

`2y=-x+16` [divide both sides by 2]

`y=-(1)/(2)x+8`

Now, we know that
`m=-(1)/(2)`. That tells us
`-(1)/(2)` is the slope.
