Question

X+2y=-8 find the slope ​

Answer 1

slope = -
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

x + 2y = - 8 ( subtract x from both sides )

2y = - x - 8 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = -
`(1)/(2)` x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = -
`(1)/(2)`

Answer 2

Slope = -1.000/2.000 = -0.500

x-intercept = -8/1 = -8.00000

y-intercept = -8/2 = -4

Explanation:
