Question

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

Answer 1

The answer is y= 2x +4

Answer 2

1) move the x to the side with the whole number
* remember the form of y = mx + b
* when you move it to the other side, the sign changes… so watch out for signs
[ 2y = -4x + 8 ]
2) divide everything by the number that’s with y since you wanna isolate for y… this case it’s 2
[ y = -2x + 4 ]
