Question

For the equation 8x + 2y = 16 What is the slope? What is the y-intercept (write as an ordered pair)? What is the x-intercept (write as an ordered pair)?​

Answer 1

slope = -4

y-intercept = (0,8)

x-intercept = (2,0)

Explanation:

To find the slope:

8x + 2y = 16. First get the y by itself.

2y = -8x + 16. Then divide by 2

y = -4x + 8. So the slope is -4.

y-intercept:

8x+2y=16

8(0)+2y=16

2y=16

y=8

y-int: (0,8)

x-intercept:

8x+2y=16

8x+2(0)=16

8x=16

x=2

x-int: (2,0)

Answer 2

Explanation:

8x+2y=16

2y=-8x+16

y=-4x+8

slope is -4

y-intercept is (0,8)

x-intercept is (2,0)
