Find the slope x- and y-intercepts of the graph of each equation.
x-8y=3. I don't understand...

Question

anonymous · Answer

First, let's arrange the equation into slope intercept form$$y = mx + b$$$m$ is the slope. 

To find the x-int, set y=0. To find the y-int, set x=0.

Ok, thanks!

Let me know what you get so I can double check your answer.

Ok, just a prob... It says to find the slope, I already know it is the rise over run, but What do I do if I don't have a rise or a run?

anonymous · Answer

Put the equation into slope-intercept form, which is$$y = m x + b$$Let's arrange the given equation. $$-8y = -x + 3 \rightarrow y = { 1 \over8} x - {3 \over 8}$$

Thanks, man, But i gotta go to sleep. C ya later...*sigh*
