Type the equation of the given line in standard form.
The line with m = 4 and intersecting 2x -4y = 8 at x = 6.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Step #1: convert "2x -4y = 8" to y=mx+b

Step #2...

Answer 2

So that would make it -4y=2x+8?

Answer 3

Or do I have to put the m in there to and make it -4y=8x+8?

Answer 4

you want y not -4y so you should simplify

Answer 5

Move the 2x over to the other side (with subtraction), divide both sides by -4.
Can you write this second step @cutie.patootie ? :-)

You'll end up getting a y=mx+b form line that allows to to draw this:
