Question

Given `8x +4y= 4`, how do you identify the slope and y-intercept?

Answer 1

`y=-2x+1`

Slope`=-2`
Y intercept`=1`

Explanation:

To find the slope and y-int, put it into slope-intercept form by isolating y.

`8x+4y=4`

Subtract `8x` from each side:
`4y=-8x+4`

Divide each side by `4`:
`y=-2x+1`

Slope`=-2`
Y intercept`=1`
