Starting with 2x + 2y = 8
The first step is to subtract the monomial including x from both sides.
2x + 2y = 8
-2x -2x
The result is 2y = -2x + 8
The next step is to isolate y, which we must divide both 2y and -2x + 8 by 2 to achieve.
2y = -2x + 8
/2 /2
The result is y = -x + 4, which is now in function(slope-intercept) form.
