Question

Graph the equation using the slope and the y-intercept

x+2y=8

Answer 1

1) Start by finding the y-intercept (plug in 0 for x).
2) Then go down 1 and right 2 (according to the slope) to find a second point
3) Then draw the line between those points.

Answer 2

First make this equation into a y = mx +b format

So bring the x onto the other side by substracting it and then divide by 2

giving us y = -x/2 +4

Then as we know slope is equal to -1/2 and the y intercept is at +4
-Make a point at +4 and move down one (-1) and right two (+2)
Keep going until you get a long enough line
