Question

What is the slope of the graph of 4x - 8y = 11?
A. 1/2
B. 2
C. -2
D. - 1/2

Answer 1

Hey there.. Lets solve this problem with steps

→ Basic Standard Formula
y = mx + b

→ Step 1 ( taking x to right side or arranging the equation in standard form)
-8y = -4x + 11

→Step 2 ( keeping y at it's own place by dividing both sides by -8)
y =
`(-4)/(-8)` x -
`(11)/(8)`
y =
`(1)/(2)` x -
`(11)/(8)`

So, m = slope in standard formula
So, m =
`(1)/(2)`

Correct Option is A.

Hope this helped you.. :)
