Question

Graph the following equation by plotting three points.

-2y=-x+8

Answer 1

first convert to slope intercept form

Answer 2

I don't know how to do that....

Answer 3

y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. So, solve for y.

Answer 4

I don't understand how to do that equation tho.

Answer 5

I'm trying so hard to understand this stuff. I have been working on it for a week already.

Answer 6

Do you know how to solve for y? Fanduekisses drawing explains it. -2y=-x+8 divide both sides by -2 to get y by itself.

-2y=-x+8

First, divide both sides by -2 to get y by itself:
\[\frac{ -2y }{ -2 }=\frac{ -x }{ -2 }+\frac{ 8 }{ -2 }\]
So you get:
\[y=\frac{ 1 }{2 }x-4\]

m=1/2, that's the slope of your line
-4 is the y-intercept (the place where x is 0 and your line crosses the y axis)
