Question

Find the slope of the line: 4x+y=8

Answer 1

its -4

Answer 2

How did you get that answer?

Answer 3

If you isolate y in this equation, what part of it would be the slope?

Answer 4

look the slope is the change in y per unitary change in x

Answer 5

SO you can solve y with x=1 and y with x=1, then find how did y increse or decresed when you increase x by 1

Answer 6

I meant with x=1 and with x=0

Answer 7

Okay go it, thanks!

Answer 8

Okay first thing you do is put it in y-intercept form which is y=mx+b
SO here it would be.... y=-4x+8
Next, to find slope you just look at the number in front of x.. so in y=mb+b the m is your slope.
So in your problem, y=-4x+8 the slope is equal to -4 :)
