Question

find the slope of 2x+y=8

Answer 1

move 2x to the other side

Answer 2

y = -2x + 8

Answer 3

y = mx +b

Answer 4

m = slope

Answer 5

m = -2

Answer 6

slope = -2

Answer 7

why negative not positive?

Answer 8

because you are subtracting 2x from both sides (to isolate y)

Answer 9

2x+y=8

2x+y-2x=8-2x ... Subtract 2x from both sides.

y = -2x + 8

Answer 10

we subtract 2x because on the left side, 2x - 2x turns into 0x or just 0 (and it goes away leaving just y)

Answer 11

u subtracted the 2x
