Question

find the slope and y intercept 9-1/2y=8x

Answer 1

i think all hope is lost for me learning this type o math

Answer 2

It's not so bad. Try to isolate the y on one side of the equation. Can you do that?

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

Okay. To do that, subtract the 9 from both sides of the equals sign.
You get: -1/2y=8x-9

Answer 5

Then divide the -1/2 from both sides, and you get
y=-4x-9 (This is known as slope-intercept form.)

Answer 6

You with me so far?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

Okay. Slope-intercept formula is y=mx+b.
m=slope
b=y-intercept

Answer 9

So what do you think is the slope in your equation?

Answer 10

-16 and 18

Answer 11

How did you get that?
