Question

find the slope if it exists x+8y=16

Answer 1

solve the equation for
y = mx + b

Or in other words, make y the subject.

then compare the values.

the value with x, will be the value for slope.

Answer 2

i get confused with these i know that y=mx+b but it is all confusing to me will ya help me solve this please

Answer 3

umm, ALright..

Answer 4

as you have to make "y" the subject, so:

x+8y=16
8y = x + 16

divide 8 from both sides,

y = x + 16
------
8
\[y = \frac 18x + 2\]

Answer 5

@saifoo, you've made a sign error

Answer 6

If x + 8y = 16
then
8y = -x + 16

So

y = (-1/8)x + 2

Answer 7

as you have to make "y" the subject, so:

x+8y=16
8y = -x + 16

divide 8 from both sides,

y = -x + 16
------
8
\[y= -\frac18x+2\]

Answer 8

thanks man

Answer 9

sure thing
