Question

How do you convert `4x – 8y = 8` into slope intercept form?

Answer 1

`y = 1/2x - 1`

Explanation:

To use the slope intercept form of the equation, `y = mx + b`, first rearrange the equation so `x` is on the other side.

`-8y = -4x +8`

Divide both sides by -8, so `y` is singular.

This gives the slope intercept form of the equation where `1/2` is the slope (gradient) and `-1` is the `y` intercept.

`y = 1/2x -1`
