Question

8x+4= 2y is the question. What is the slope and the y-intercept?

Answer 1

Rewriting the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) makes it easier to tell the slope and y-intercept. The rewritten form is y = 4x + 2. Since 'm' represents the slope, the slope of the equation is 4. 'b' represents the y-intercept, so the y-intercept is 2.

Answer 2

m = 4

Y-intercept: 2

Explanation:

8x + 4 = 2y

We rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + b

m = the slope

b = y-intercept

8x + 4 = 2y

-2y + 8x + 4 = 0

-2y = -8x - 4

y = 4x + 2

m = 4

Y-intercept: 2
