Question

What is the slope of the line whose equation is –48 = 2x − 8y? Help Meh

Answer 1

$General\ equation\ for\ line\ in\ slope\ intercept\ form: \\\\y=ax+b\\\\ a-\ slope\\\\ -48=2x-8y\ \ \ \ | add\ 8y\\\\ 8y-48=2x\ \ \ | add\ 48\\\\ 8y=2x+48\ \ \ | divide\ by\ 8\\\\ y=\frac{1}{4}x+6\\\\Slope\ is\ equal\ to\ a=\frac{1}{4}.$

Answer 2

- 48 = 2x - 8y
8y = 2x + 48
y = (2x + 48)/8
y = 1/4x + 6

Answer : 1/4
