Question

What are the slope and the y-intercept of the linear function that is represented by the equation 8 x minus 2 y = 5?

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is 4, and the y-intercept is Negative five-halves

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the equation of the line in standard form

8x-2y=5

Convert the equation in slope intercept form where

y=mx+b

m is the slope b is the y-intercept

Isolate the variable y

Subtract 8x both sides

-2y = -8x+5

Divide by -2 both sides

$y=4x-\frac{5}{2}$

therefore

m=4

b= $-\frac{5}{2}$
