C.-1/2




D.1/2

Answer 1

put the equation in y = mx + b form and the number in the m position will be the slope.

8x - 4y = 11 --- subtract 8x from both sides
-4y = -8x + 11 --- divide both sides by -4
y = 2x - 11/4
The number in the m position , the slope , is 2

Answer 2

so b?

Answer 3

b right?

Answer 4

yes, it is B.

Answer 5

Do you get that? Always solve for y. That will get the equation into slope-intercept form which gives you your slope by definition. Sorry it took me some time to get to you!
