Question

Rewrite the equation 2x-4y=8 in slope intercept form

Answer 1

$2x - 4y - 2x = 8 - 2x \\ - 4y = - 2x + 8 \\ \frac{ - 4y}{ - 4} = \frac{ - 2x}{ - 4} + \frac{8}{ - 4} \\ y = \frac{1}{2} x - 2$
The final answer follows the y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. So the slope is equal to 1/2 and the y intercept is equal to - 2.
