Question

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

fractions.
2y – 2 = -8

Answer 1

`y = x - 4`

Explanation:

Given

`2y - 2x = -8` -- correct expression

Required

Represent as slope intercept form

`2y - 2x = -8`

Make 2y the subject

`2y = 2x - 8`

Divide through by 2

`(2y)/(2) = (2x)/(2) - (8)/(2)`

`y = x - 4`
