Question

Find the slope of the line described by the equation: 4y-1=8x

Answer 1

• The slope is 2

Explanation:

Given line:

• 4y - 1 = 8x

Convert the equation into slope-intercept form:

• y = mx + b, where m is the slope

Isolate the term y:

• 4y = 8x + 1

Divide all terms by 4:

• y = 2x + 1/4

The slope is:

• m = 2

Answer 2

slope of the line = 2

Explanation:

4y-1=8x

4y = 8x + 1

y = (8x + 1)/4

y = 2x + 0.25

y = 2(x + 0.125 )

m, slope = 2
