8y-2x=24
Solve for y
8y=2x+24
y=(1/4)x+3
So no it is in the form y=mx + c
m is the slope
So the slope is 1/4

Dear Madison,

I will be glad to offer you my services. In order to find the slope of an equation you must use the slope intercept formula. Here is the formula:

y=mx+b


Your equation is actually almost in slope form, however there is an 8 attached to the "y." When you have a number and a letter side by side it means that they are being multiplied. So for example:
"10C" actually means "10 multiplied by C"
If you are familiar with how equations work, then you can proceed from here. If not I will explain here. Equations are like see-saws, you want them to be balanced. So whatever you do to one side has to be done to the other. In order to balance them you have to do the opposite function of what you are trying to change. So if you are trying to get rid of a positive 8 you would subtract.
The Work to Solve Your Equation:
1. Here is the equation: 8y-2x=24
2. Divide 8y by 8 to leave y-2x on the left side of your equation.
3. Now remember whatever you do to one side has to be done to the other. So you must divide 24 by 8.
4. Now this is what you have: y-2x=3
5. The formula is "y=mx+b" so we now have to rearrange our numbers into that format. So we want to have the y by itself. In that case we would add a positive 2x in order to remove the "-2x".
6. y=2x+3
7. I sincerely hope that this explanation was useful.

None, unless c was a typo

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributing gets us xy+2x=5

None of the options is that

If you meant option c as xy+2x = 5 though, then it would be correct
