Question

Write 3x+8y+-8 in slope intercept form (y=mx+b).



Thanks.

Answer 1

y = -
`(3)/(8)` - 1

Explanation:

3x+8y+-8 - Given

3x + 8y = -8 - Assuming the second "+" is meant to be an "="

8y = -3x - 8 - Isolating the y term (subtracting 3x from both sides)

y = -
`(3)/(8)` - 1 - Isolating the y term (dividing both sides by 8)
