Question

i dont have a specific question

Answer 1

That's a shame....:-)

Answer 2

Then here's a sort of vague answer...

Answer 3

maybe.

Answer 4

x=5

Answer 5

Do you have a general question about slope intercept?

Answer 6

No Just How To Do It

Its Confusing TO Me

Answer 7

Well typically you're given some information, like maybe a point and a slope, or something?

Answer 8

8x+y=6

Answer 9

find out what y is

Answer 10

how would i do that

Answer 11

Ah you need to solve for y.

Answer 12

So you want to solve for y. That's the slope intercept form. To do that you have to subtract 8x from both sides. That will isolate the y term on the left side of the equal sign.

Answer 13

We want to get y by itself. So you need to get rid of the 8x. Since the 8x is addition. You should subtract it from both sides of the equation.

Answer 14

Polpak is too fast for me :(

Answer 15

-2?

Answer 16

so y equals negative 2?

Answer 17

then i graph it?

Answer 18

Not quite. Like this.

8x+y=6
-8x -8x
---------------
y = -8x + 6

When you subtract 8x-8x on the left side that is zero so it goes away, and you get y by itself. Now it is in slope intercept form.
