Question

How do you find the slope and intercept of `y + 4x = 8`?

Answer 1

slope = -4, x-intercept = 2, y-intercept = 8

Explanation:

`y + 4x = 8` => write in slope-intercept form of:
`y=mx+b` , where m = slope, b = the y-intercept:
so in this case:
`y = -4x + 8` => slope = -4 , the y-intercept = 8
to find the x-intercept set y to zero and solve for x:
`0=-4x+8`
`4x=8`
`x=2` => the x-intercept
