Question

Rewrite the following equation in slope intercept form 8x - 2y = -15Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Answer 1

The given equation is

`8x-2y=-15`

To express it in slope-intercept form, we have to solve the equation for y.

`\begin{gathered} -2y=-15-8x \\ 2y=15+8x \\ y=(8x+15)/(2) \\ y=4x+(15)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the equation in slope-intercept form is

`y=4x+(15)/(2)`
