Question

Find the slope of the line whose equation is 8y = 2x + 4.

Answer 1

convert the equation as y = mx + b

Answer 2

where m = slope

Answer 3

just divide all digits by 8

Answer 4

- 8y = 2x+4
- y = (2x+4)/8
- y = 2(x+2)/8
- simplifies to (x+2)/4
- which can be rewritten as y = (x/4)+(2/4)
- which is also equivalent to y = 0.25x + 0.5

if y = mx+b is your standard equation, m represents slope thus 0.25 (or 1/4) is your slope value
