Question

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all

fractions.
8y-2x=-72

Answer 1

y = 1 4 x − 9

Explanation:

Write in slope-intercept form, y = m x + b .

Answer 2

y = 1/4x - - 9

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Equality Properties

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope
• b - y-intercept

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

8y - 2x = -72

Step 2: Rewrite

Find slope-intercept form

1. Add 2x on both sides: 8y = 2x - 72
2. Divide 8 on both sides: y = 1/4x - - 9
