Y=mx+b is the formula you need to get it in start with the equation 8x-2y=5 so we want to get y by itself and everything else on the right side of the equation. to do this first subtract -8x from the left side and put it on the right side. this step would look like this: 8x-2y=5 -8x-2y=5 -> -2y=5-8x -------------
next take and divide -2 from both sides of the equation. this would look like this: -2y= 5 -8x ÷-2y=÷-2÷-2 -> y= -5/2 +4x ------------------- so your new equation is y=4x-5/2 y=mx+b tells you the slope and y-intercept. m=slope and b=y-intercept. so in this case 4 is your slope and -5/2 is your y-int
