Question

Write the slope of x+2y=16 pls help fast

Answer 1

Answer: $-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, let's turn the equation into slope-interept form. In slope intercept form, y=mx+b, we know that m=slope.

$x+2y=16$             [subtract both sides by x]

$2y=-x+16$          [divide both sides by 2]

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x+8$

Now, we know that $m=-\frac{1}{2}$. That tells us $-\frac{1}{2}$ is the slope.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2y=16

-× -×

2y=-x+16

÷2. ÷2

y=-1/2x+8

slope is -1/2
