Question

X+2y=-8 find the slope ​

Answer 1

Answer:

 Slope = -1.000/2.000 = -0.500

 x-intercept = -8/1 = -8.00000

 y-intercept = -8/2 = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Graph of a Straight Line

Calculate the Y-Intercept

Calculate the Slope

Calculate the X-Intercept

Answer: Slope = -1.000/2.000 = -0.500

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

x + 2y = - 8 ( subtract x from both sides )

2y = - x - 8 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{1}{2}$
