Question

Given the equation 8X = 4Y +16, generate a plan to re-write it In slope interception form. Which variable do you solve for

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

Given

8x = 4y + 16 ← rearrange and solve for y

Subtract 16 from both sides

8x - 16 = 4y ( divide all terms by 4 )

2x - 4 = y , or

y = 2x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form
