Question

What is the slope of the following line: 2y-4x=-16

Answer 1

The slope is 2

Explanation:

So convert the equation into point slope form

y=mx+b

Isolate the 2y by adding 4x to both sides using inverse operations

2y=-16+4x

now divide 2 on both sides to make y isolated

y=-8+2x

Now convert

y=2x-8

the slope is 2
