Question

What is the slope of the graph of 8x – 4y = 11?
a.1/2
b.-1/2
c.2
d.-2

Answer 1

answer is c. 2

Answer 2

put the equation in y=mx+b
m is the slope and b is the y - intercept

Answer 3

but how did u get 2 that's what I wanna know

Answer 4

Solve the equation for y

Answer 5

\[8x - 4y = 11\] becomes \[y = 2x - 11\]

Answer 6

1. Subtract 8x from both sides
2. Divide both sides by -4
3. The coefficient of x is the slope.

Answer 7

dividing -8 by -4 = 2! slope=m, m=2

Answer 8

(for y=mx+b form)

Answer 9

@Kaveman You have to divide the 11 also!!!

Answer 10

@Mertsj OH NO! The shame and dishonour I have brought upon my family! Nice catch, my bad. \[y = 2x - \frac{ 11 }{ 4 }\]
