Question

What is the slope of the line whose equation is
–48 = 2x − 8y?

Answer 1

We need to isolate y

–48 = 2x − 8y

–48-2x = -8y

-8y = -2x - 48

y = (-2x - 48)/(-8)

y = (-2x)/(-8) - 48/(-8)

y = (1/4)x + 6


The last equation above is in the form y = mx+b where m = 1/4 is the slope

Answer 2

b = 6 is the y-intercept

so that graph crosses the y axis at (0,6)

Answer 3

?

Answer 4

where are you stuck?

Answer 5

are u sure its 1/4

Answer 6

i got 7/4

Answer 7

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 8

how did you get 7/4 ?

Answer 9

tbh idk

Answer 10

do you see how I isolated y?

Answer 11

i have 2 mor for u is tht ok

Answer 12

we're not done with this one though.

Answer 13

do you see how I isolated y? or no?

Answer 14

yes

Answer 15

so what would be the slope for something like 3y = 10x + 7

Answer 16

explain
plz

Answer 17

again the idea is to isolate y

so what do we do to accomplish this?

Answer 19

What is the slope of the line whose equation is 12 = 4x – 6y?
this is more like the last one
