Question

2x+2y=-8
Into slope intercept form

Answer 1

`y = -x - 4`

Explanation:

To convert the equation

`2x+2y=-8`

into slope-intercept form, we have to isolate a single multiple of y.

First, subtract 2x from both sides.

`2x+2y=-8`

-2x -2x

`2y = -2x - 8`

Then, divide both sides by 2.

`\boxed{y = -x - 4}`

Now that the line is in slope-intercept form (
`y = mx + b`), we can see that this line has a slope (m) of -1 and a y-intercept (b) at y = -4.
