Convert the equation − x − 2 y = 8 from standard to slope-intercept form
Molodets [167]

Answer:

y = -1/2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have our equation in standard form: -x - 2y = 8. We can use simplifying rules to isolate y on one side of the equation and give us our y = mx + b format. I'll begin by adding x to both sides.

-x - 2y = 8

-2y = x + 8

Now that we have y on one side, we can divide everything by -2.

-2y/-2 = x/-2 + 8/-2

y = -1/2x - 4

That looks like y = mx + b form.

If you have any further questions or need clarification on anything, let me know!
